B.4.3 Warpage
Edges curled down
Warpage is usually caused by too much energy being transferred to the card; i.e., the
temperatures are too hot or the speeds are too slow.
Step 1. Decrease Back Transfer Temperature:
a. Go to the Card Specifications window; see Section B.3.
b. Make a note of the default back transfer temperature settings.
c. Decrease the appropriate (single or double side) back transfer temperature by 5.
d. Click on the OK button.
e. Print a test card; see Section B.3.
f. Examine the test card.
• If there is noticeable improvement, continue decreasing the back transfer
temperature by 5, printing a test card, and examining the resulting card. Stop
when the problem is corrected or there is no more improvement. If the
problem is corrected, no more adjustment is required; otherwise go to Step 2.
• If there is no noticeable improvement, return the temperature to its default
setting; and go to Step 2.
