  Caution:  Never run cards with a contaminated, dull or uneven surface through the 

Printer. Printing onto such cards will ultimately lead to poor print quality. 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. 

Card Size 

These Card Printers accept standard CR80 sized cards (3.375L x 2.125W / 
85.6mmL x 54mmW) with a thickness of 30 mil to 50 mil (.030/.762mm).  

Card 
Design 

The Printer will print onto any card with a clean, level and polished PVC 
surface. (Important:  Composite PVC is recommended over straight PVC 
for the best results and for ISO card specification compliance. Single-side 
straight PVC does not conform to ISO compliance at this time.) 

The Printer will print onto any card with a clean, level and polished PVC 
surface.  

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.  

• 

Some types of Proximity cards, for example, have an uneven surface 
which will inhibit consistent color transfer. 

 

Likewise, some smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards 
surface, which also results in poor color transfer.
