Q: Why do I have little white lines or specks on my cards after I print them?

A: Sounds like its time to clean your printer. This is most likely due to dust inside the printer. Clean the inside of the printer.

This may also be caused by dust or embedded contaminants on the card. Be sure the cards you are using are clean and stored in a dust free environment. Some non-OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) cards have embedded contaminants in their surface and should not be used.

This can also be caused by a dirty Cleaning Roller or Feed Rollers. Clean these rollers.

Look in your printer manual for cleaning instructions. If you do not already have a cleaning kit for your printer, go check them out at our online store!
