Printing Contactless Smart Cards

When designing material to be printed on Contactless Smart Cards, be sure the printing will

not be on the smart chip area (i.e., the printing on either side of the card must not be on top of

or underneath the smart chip area).

By looking at an un-printed card very carefully, it is possible to see the chip location (as in the

figure on the left below). If you print in that area, results will be unsatisfactory (in the figure on

the right, the “star” should have been a single solid color).
