Note: These print area dimensions are .04 in ( 1 mm) larger than the actual card size. This is so
the printer can overprint images to ensure they will appear edge-to-edge when transferred to
the card.
When designing a card format, always set the card size within the card design program to the
exact print length and width dimensions of the card.

Defaults: The Printer Driver software has default Transfer Temperature and Dwell Time settings
that deliver the best transfer for these card types. These defaults automatically configure based
on the card type, Ribbon type and whether printing single- or dual-sided.
Card Type Selection: Before printing, if using these standard Fargo card types, ensure selecting
the appropriate card type from the Card tab of the Printer Driver.
Proper Settings: Not all card types are accommodated by these default settings. In some cases,
experimentation is required to find the proper settings.
IMPORTANT: If you select the wrong option, the wrong Dwell Time and temperature may be
used during the image transfer process resulting in poor adhesion of the InTM Film or card
warping.

3.1.1 General Card Information
3.1.1.1 Card Design
The printer will print onto any card with a clean, level, and polished PVC surface.
Important: Composite PVC is recommended over straight PVC for the best results and for ISO
card specification compliance. Single side straight PVC does not conform to ISO compliance at
this time.
3.1.1.2 Card Surface
Suitable cards must have a polished PVC surface free of fingerprints, dust, or any other types of
embedded contaminants.
In addition, cards must have a completely smooth, level surface in order for the printer to achieve
consistent color.
3.1.1.3 Card Coverage
Some types of Proximity cards, for example, have an uneven surface which will inhibit consistent
color transfer.
Likewise, some smart card chips are raised slightly above the cards surface, which also results in
poor color transfer.
February 2016 L000950, Version: 4.0
Printer Driver Operations Page 3-4
3.1.1.4 UltraCard Stock
Due to the importance of using high-quality blank cards, a factory-approved card stock called
UltraCard™ is available and recommended for best results.
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 these cards are available: UltraCard and UltraCard Premium.
• UltraCard stock has a PVC core and offers medium card durability.
• Recommended: UltraCard Premium stock has a 40% polyester core and offers high durability.
Both types of UltraCards produce printed images with a glossy, photo-quality finish.
3.1.1.5 Custom
If using a card stock other than listed, use the custom options to save custom dwell time and
temperature controls.
1. Select Custom 1 or Custom 2 as a Card Type.
2. Select the Image Transfer tab to adjust the Dwell Time and Temperature sliders to the
appropriate settings. Note: These settings will be saved for the custom card type when the
printer driver setup window is closed.
3. For additional information on the Image Transfer screen, see Section 3.4: Image Transfer Tab.
Custom Card Stock: To determine the proper settings for custom card stock, conduct the
Tape Adhesion Test.

3.1.1.6 Conducting the Tape Adhesion Test
Since it can not be certain which transfer temperature and dwell times will work best with cards
other than the recommended ones, it is important to conduct tape adhesion tests. The optimal
transfer settings may vary from card type to card type.
Important: Inadequate time and temperature could produce cards that are more vulnerable to
accelerated wear and dye migration. Use sufficient time and temperature for transferring film to
the card to ensure a long lasting, durable card.
Test the adhesion quality of the film to the card by printing sample cards and completing an
adhesive tape test.
1. Select the UltraCard IIIs-Glossy PVC if the card is glossy, and print a test card.
a. Apply a strip of 1/2 in (12 mm) wide Scotch-type clear adhesive tape (such as 3M brand
600), at least 2 inches (50 mm) long, firmly across the surface of the card, pressing out
all air bubbles with a fingertip.
b. Remove the tape by smoothly and rapidly, approximately 2 in (50mm) /second, pulling it
up at a perpendicular (90 degree) angle to the card.
Note: The IPC recommends a minimum of three tests for each card type evaluation.
2. Visually examine the card and the strip of tape pulled from the card, to see if any portion of the
film was removed.
a. If any residue (e.g. oil or grease from fingertips) is present on the card surface, the
evaluation results may be affected.
b. If the printed, transferred film particles (1) pull away from the card and (2) adhere to the
tape, this indicates that inadequate adhesion of the film to the card. Increased heat and
dwell times are necessary to resolve this problem.
Samples 1, 2 and 3 show a representation of the expected adhesion level.
Result 1: Shows a significant transfer to the tape and is an absolute failure.
Result 2: Shows that very slight transfer to the tape can be acceptable without sacrificing overall
image durability on matte finish cards.
Result 3: Shows no transfer to the tape and is an absolute pass.
February 2016 L000950, Version: 4.0
Printer Driver Operations Page 3-6
3. If the tape test indicates inadequate adhesion, increase the heat setting by 5 degrees, print
another card and try the tape test again.
• Once the temperature has been increased 4 times (20 degrees), reset temperature to
default and increase the dwell time by 0.5 second.
• If necessary, repeat this process until adequate adhesion is achieved.
• Ensure that the cards in use have a surface roughness (Ra) of 60 micro inch or less. This
information should be available from the card manufacturer.
3.1.1.7 Printing on Alternate Card Stocks
In order to optimize the card printer’s capabilities for cards with hard-to-print surfaces, it is
recommended evaluating the card stock selection before installation of the printer. The variability in
cards based on:
• Different surface textures and different sources of raw materials
This may require different film transfer parameters.
• Varied methods of assembling IC smart cards and proximity cards.
These particular adhesives used to glue a smart chip to a plastic card may react differently to a
transfer roller’s pressure and temperature.
• Cleanliness of card stock
The process does not eliminate the need to use clean card stock.
The best-looking card always starts with the cleanest card surface.
Dirt and debris on a card can show up as blemishes on the card surface and may reduce the life
of the image itself.

The second page of the card layout will be printed on the front side of the card.
Print Back Side Only: Select this option to print only onto the backside of preprinted cards that

Note: Load the cards into the hopper in the usual way.
• When this option is selected, the print both sides option is automatically disabled.
• When attempting to print a two page card layout, the first page of the card will print on the

Rotate Front 180 Degrees: Rotates the image on the card front 180 degrees when printed.
Rotate Back 180 Degrees: Rotates the image on the card back 180 degrees when printed.
Disable Printing: No print data will be sent to the printer when magnetic encoding is sent. Note:
This option allows the use of laminate without printing.
Dual Pass: This refers to fluorescing dye being applied to a separate panel of the film.
Note: First, the YMC ink is applied to a panel of film; then the F and possibly K are applied to a
separate panel. If this is not done, the fluorescent ink tends to mix with the YMC colors and lose
its fluorescent qualities; it also tends to become visible.
It is recommended that the default Dual Pass option is used if the fluorescent image is used
where other dye is used or if the Invert F-panel Image option is selected.
For additional information See Chapter 8: Fluorescent Panel Usage.
Invert F-panel Image: This refers to the ability to cause light or white areas of the image to
fluoresce and dark colors to remain dark on the printed card when exposed to a UV light.
Note: This was requested because the fluorescent dye color is bright when black light is applied
to it. By default, the dark areas of the image will fluoresce on the card and the lighter or white
areas will have no dye applied.
The user can select the Invert F-Panel Image option to cause the black in the design to show as
dark on the card. This option is recommended if the user is printing a photo.
For additional information See Chapter 8: Fluorescent Panel Usage.
