  upon opening the card package.
• When handling the PVC cards, avoid any direct
  contact with the surface. It is best to hold it
  by the edge.
• With clean cards, you can expect a more
  professional looking ID badge.
• After printing, if not all PVC cards were used
  store it on a clean, airtight container. Check
  the finished ID cards.
• Look for the unwanted lines or traces of ribbons
  that appear on the printed card.
• Also check if there is discolouration on the
  printed materials. If any of these are found, use
  a cleaning pen to clean the printhead.

  the cleaning pen across the length of the
  printhead. Repeat the method as needed.
