2.7.1 General card information
Important: For the best results and ISO card specification compliance, composite PVC is recommended
over straight PVC.
■ The printer prints onto any card with a clean level, and polished PVC surface.
■ Suitable cards must have a polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust, or any other types of
embedded contaminants.
■ For best results, HID recommends UltraCard, UltraCard stock has a glossy PVC laminate on top and
bottom and is optically inspected to provide the cleanest, most scratch and debris-reduced cards
possible. Two types of UltraCard card stock are available.
■ UltraCard stock has a PVC core and offers medium card durability.
■ UltraCard Premium stock has a 40% polyester core and offers high durability (recommended).
Both types of UltraCards produce printed images with a glossy, photo-quality finish.
