User's Guide

An overspray liner is used to allow for printing cards completely up to the edge of a card. Any ink which
is sprayed beyond the card edge is collected and cured on the overspray liner.
The liner itself is made of a flexible Teflon coated material, and it includes tabs on its left and right sides.
The liner is installed on the top of the card transport as shown in the above image. It should surround
the 2 belts, and it is held in place by putting the tabs under the gray plastic clips at each end of the card
transport, as shown in the yellow ovals above.
Note: if over the edge card printing is done, this liner will need to periodically be removed and cleaned
so ink does not build up enough to prohibit card feeding. Frequency of cleaning is dependent on card
images.
3.12 Ink Cartridges
3.12.1 Types of Ink that Can be Used
The HID ELEMENT printer requires highly specialized inks to function properly. To maximize
printer durability, reliability, and printed card quality, you much use only HID ELEMENT inks. If
not using HID ELEMENT inks, your HID ELEMENT warranty is void, where not prohibited by law.
3.12.2 Caution Handling Ink
The printer has been designed so that a user will not come into contact with wet ink. Wet ink
can cause skin sensitivies and/or other hazards (please see labelling on ink cartridges for more
information). If a situation occurs in which wet ink is present, users must take precautions.
Gloves should be worn to prevent contact with skin, and safety glasses should be used for eye
protection.
Ink which has been cured and hardened does not present a safety risk.
