In addition, cards must have a completely smooth, level surface inorder for the Printer to achieve consistent color coverage. Some types of Proximity cards, for example, have an uneven surfacewhich will inhibit consistent color transfer.Likewise, some smart card chips are raised slightly above the cardssurface, which also results in poor color transfer.UltraCardstockDue to the importance of using high-quality blank cards, a factory-approvedcard stock called UltraCard™ is available and recommended for bestresults.
