CHOOSING THE CORRECT CARDS
Card size
Card thickness
Card requirements necessary for good quality prints
Printable area of the Card
• Glossy white.
• Free from contamination.
• Free from surface irregularities.
• Free from burrs at Card edges.
The printable area of a standard CR80 Card is
size of 1013 x 642 pixels to obtain
“over the edge” print quality.
Not all white PVC Cards are the same. For best image quality always use high grade PVC Cards.
Pure PVC Card stock or laminated PVC/Polyester Cards are available. The latter are more durable and
better suited to heavy use and heat lamination when required. For access control and Smart Card
applications, your supplier should provide the appropriate type for “direct to card” printing.
For consistent results, stick to a single variety of good quality Cards.
