ID Maker Value	Solution
White Line across Printed Cards	If this only happens on some cards there is likely dust or other contamination on the cards. However, if this is consistently on every card printed, it is likely that the printhead is damaged. If printer cleaning is not carried out as advised (at every dye film change) the chance of printing problems and printhead damage is greatly increased. Under these circumstances the complete printhead will have to be replaced, it cannot be repaired. Below is an example of a damaged printhead. Check your warranty terms for printhead cover and call IDville tech support at 1.866.438.4553.

Dye Film Sticking to Card	Clean your printer by following the printer specific cleaning routine found in the printer manual. If the main print roller is not perfectly clean the card can slip during the printing process, causing the film to break, or stick to the card. Below is an image of a clean vs. very dirty roller. If you clean your ID card printer and the problem persists, the printer is most likely printing at too high of a density. Changing the printing density can be done within the ID card software but we recommend contacting your software supplier to get help as this can be difficult to find in the menu. If you are using ID Maker software give our tech team a call at 1.866.438.4553. If you do choose to go about it alone we suggest reducing the print density by 200 points and testing it. Note that reducing the density will result in a lighter print.
