Irregular Warpage
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 Front Transfer Temperature:
a. Go to the Card Specifications window; see Section B.3.
b. Make a note of the default front transfer temperature settings.
c. Decrease the appropriate (single or double side) front 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 front 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.
Note • Irregular warpage is more common with Smart Cards.
