Printer Components: Blank Cards
Caution: Never run cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface through the
Printer. Printing cards on this surface can lead to poor print quality and can greatly reduce
the life of the Printhead. Always store the card stock in its original packaging or in a clean,
dust-free container. Do not print onto cards that have been dropped or soiled. Printhead
damage caused by contaminated or poor quality cards will automatically void the Printhead's
factory warranty.

any other types of embedded contaminants.
Cards must have a completely smooth, level surface in order for the Printer
to achieve consistent color coverage.
Some types of Proximity cards, for example, have an uneven surface which
will inhibit consistent color transfer.
Some Smart Card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface, which
also results in poor color transfer.
