How to Change a Card Design
Card design is the name given to the combined features of the printed cards. See Card Design
and Setup for more information.
An organization can change:
• The arrangement of card components, such as moving a photo from the center to the
left side of the card
• The source for card components, such as using a different camera for taking photos, or
using a new file for a logo.
• The components on the card, such as adding magnetic stripe, logo, or bar code.
Whenever the card design changes, review the settings used for the card. Use this checklist to
guide your changes.
Always:
• Use high quality (300dpi) photos and graphics.
• Print several samples of the updated card design.
• Use cards with a magnetic stripe or bar code in a reader to verify the data works as
expected.
• If you print large groups of cards (batches), print a typical group of cards and check
cards printed at the beginning, middle and end to make sure they all work.
If changing:
• A graphic (logo) on the card
• The camera for taking photos
• The location for taking photos
Then:
• Check the Color Adjustment setting.
• See
Color Printing for information about how to improve the appearance on one
element on a card.
If changing:
• A bar code
• A magnetic stripe
Then:
• See
Monochrome Printing if printing bar codes.
• See Magnetic Stripe if adding or changing a magnetic stripe.
• Print several samples of the updated card design.
• Use the cards in a reader to verify the data works as expected.
