CARDS
Card Material
Not all white plastic cards are the same. For best image quality always use high quality 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 Dealer should provide the
appropriate type for “direct to card” printing. For good consistent results, stick to a single variety of good quality cards, such
as those available from your Magicard Dealer.

To obtain good quality prints the cards must be:
• Glossy white.
• Free from dirt or grease.
• Free from surface contamination, e.g. finger marks.
• Free from burrs at the edge of the card.
• Free from pits or bumps in the surface.
Printable Area of the card.
Both the Enduro and Enduro Duo printer offer high quality edge to edge (full bleed) printing.
Thus the surface of the card may be printed edge to edge.
Dye cut PVC cards typically have an edge roll off (bevel) which can result in a fine white line around the edge of full bleed
printed cards. When setting up your card design using your graphics software on your PC, you should use a maximum
page size of 1026 pixels (3.45”/87.5mm) x 642 pixels (2.13”/54mm).
