Actual card thickness can vary by up to ten percent from the sizes listed. Smart

card chips can be raised slightly from the printing surface.

Card bow must be less than the thickness of the card.

Card material

Use cards made of the following types of material:

• Glossy PVC surface, either 100% PVC cards or composite cards with a PVC

surface.

• Cards with a magnetic stripe on one side of the card.

• Cards with a smart card chip on the top of the card. Depending on the module

installed in the printer, contact-type, contactless, or both types of smart card chips

can be programmed.

Embossed cards cannot be processed in the Select printer.

StickiCards

StickiCards™ adhesive-backed plastic cards, part number 597640-001, can be used.

StickiCards are used to make personalized cards that can be adhered to proximity

cards when the card surface is not flat enough to print. The printing surface of the

StickiCard (white side) meets the material requirements for use in the printer.

When using StickiCards, follow these guidelines:

• Store cards in a cool place (such as a refrigerator) to avoid adhesive migration.

• Fan cards before loading them in the card cartridge.

• Clean the printer’s card tracks often to remove any adhesive residue. The

printhead cleaning pen or an isopropyl alcohol swab will remove the residue.

• Use a print margin of 0.1 or 0.05 inch with StickiCards.

Contactless smart cards

Contactless smart cards are also called RF (radio frequency) cards and proximity

cards. Contactless smart cards can have an irregular surface where the internal

components of the card are located. You might modify the card design to avoid

printing photos or other images over the internal components of the card.

Pre-punched cards

Datacard recommends that you punch cards after printing them. However, you can

use pre-punched cards with the Select printer as long as the hole is free of raised

areas or burrs. Figure B-2 shows where punched areas are not allowed.
