Other Card Types.
Self-Adhesive Cards.
We recommend only self adhesive cards supplied by Ultra Electronics via your Magicard dealership. There are many
different types of self-adhesive cards. Thorough investigation and testing has shown that poorer quality or incorrect card
types will cause problems in the printer. These problems range from poor image quality, failure to feed from the card
hopper and dye-film being cut through to cards getting jammed in the roller mechanism.
Contact Chip Cards.
Smart cards must conform to the ISO 7816 specification, with the chip contacts being below the surface of the card. It is
unwise to print graphics or text directly adjacent to the chip as image quality may be affected.
Contactless (Proximity) Chip Cards.
Proximity cards must be completely flat with no sign of the chip or antenna being visible in the surface of the card.
