Adhesive Backed Cards

Adhesive-backed cards are printed, and then adhered to proximity cards when 
the card surface is not flat enough to print. The printing surface (white side) of 
adhesive-backed card meets the material requirements for use in some printers. 
Use the following guidelines:

•  Store cards in a cool place (such as a refrigerator) to avoid adhesive migration.
•  Clean the printer’s card tracks to remove any adhesive residue. Use the 

printhead cleaning pen or isopropanol and a swab to remove the residue.

•  Use a print margin of at least 0.05 inch when using adhesive-backed cards.

Card Quality Guidelines

Cards must meet the following card quality guidelines for the printer to print 
high quality graphics on them successfully.

Card Surface

•  The card must be free of irregularities such as particles embedded in the 

surface.

•  The card surface must be smooth and even. Surface irregularities can cause 

loss of contact, resulting in printing voids.

•  The printing surface must be glossy.
•  Card edges must be free of raised burrs, which can cause printing voids. This 

is especially true when printing edge-to-edge.

Card Handling

These guidelines apply to unprinted cards.

•  Any debris or particles on an unprinted card’s surface can reduce print 

quality and damage the printhead.

•  Grease or oils, such as oils from your fingers, also reduce print quality. Keep 

cards completely clean. Do not touch the print surface of a card with your 
fingers or hands.

•  Do not use a rubber band to bind blank cards together.
•  If you drop a card on the floor, do not insert it into the printer.
