1.6 Printer Components: Blank Cards
Type Description
Card Size The Card Printer accepts standard CR-79 and CR-80 sized cards.
Card Surface Suitable cards must have a polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust or
any other types of embedded contaminants. In addition, cards must have a
completely smooth, level surface in order for the printer to achieve consistent
color coverage. Certain types of Proximity cards have an uneven surface that
will inhibit consistent color transfer.
Certain types of smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface
which also results in poor color transfer.
