Details
Adhesive-backed cards are cards that can be peeled off a backing in order to stick it to a hard surface or onto other cards. Special care is required when printing on these cards.
NOTE: Not all Zebra card printers support these cards due to the thickness size requirements for each printer. Check the printer's user manual or Zebra's website for printer/card specifications.
Adhesive-backed cards are generally in the 10-20 mil thickness variety, and as such, they are more sensitive to deformation during the printing operation. This can lead to ribbon breaking. More importantly, some non-Zebra adhesive-backed cards have a wax/paper-like backing that you pull away to expose the adhesive. These cards are not supported as the paper-backed adhesive cards are very slippery and prevent the transport rollers in the printer from getting a good grip on the card. This leads to the card stalling during the printing process. When the card stalls, the heat from the print head will stay at one spot for too long and break (burn through) the ribbon.
When using Zebra mylar-backed adhesive cards, keep the following in mind:
Contact the card manufacturer should you have questions about the material/quality of your card.
