$Ultra Electronics Ltd Magicard Enduro User Manual - 15 - CHOOSING THE RIGHT DYE-FILM RIBBON The table below is a guide to selecting the best dye-film to use for any intended application. Note:  MA300YMCKO dye-film is generally the appropriate choice for colour printing with both Enduro and Enduro Duo printers.  MA250YMCKOK dye-film, for the Enduro Duo models only, is more economic when printing in colour on the front side and black on the rear.  MA1000K & MA600KO dye-film – where cost is critical, monochrome printing is a fraction of the cost of colour printing.

Ultra Electronics Ltd Magicard Enduro User M - 16 - CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARDS Card material Not all white plastic cards are the same. For best image quality always use high quality video 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. Card size  Standard (CR80) = 3.375” x 2.125” (86.5 mm wide x 53.98mm high). Card thickness  Minimum - 0.015” ( 0.38mm).  Standard - 0.030” ( 0.76mm).  Maximum - 0.063” ( 1.60mm). To obtain good quality prints the card must be:  Glossy white.  Free from dirt and grease.  Free from surface contamination.  Free from pits and bumps in the surface.  Free from burrs at the edge of the card.  Completely flat. Both the Enduro and Enduro Duo printer offer high quality edge to edge (full bleed) printing. 85.6 mm 3.375 inches 1016pixels 53.96 mm 2.125 inches 642pixels Printable area of the card 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 1016 pixels (3.45”/87.5mm) x 642 pixels (2.13”/54mm). anual

Ultra Electronics Ltd Magicard Enduro User Manual - 17 - If you have an Enduro Mag printer (fitted with the optional magnetic encoding module) you can simultaneously print and encode the magnetic stripe on the rear of a magnetic stripe card. Using Magnetic stripe cards The Enduro Mag can encode HiCo and LoCo type magnetic stripe cards When loading magnetic stripe cards, make sure the stripe is on the left and underneath when viewing from the front of the printer. Refer to your PC Badge printing application for instructions on how to print and encode a magnetic stripe card. Using 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; dye-film being cut and cards getting jammed in the roller mechanism.
