The Magicard Enduro3E ID card printer is a popular printer used in businesses all over the world – but if you aren’t getting the high print quality you want, AlphaCard Technical Support has put together a guide to help you fix light or faded printing.

To start, first follow these basic troubleshooting steps:

  1. Once your printer diver is installed, go to your computer’s Devices and Printers folder, right click on the Magicard Enduro3E and choose printing preferences.
  2. This will bring up the Driver Settings window. Click on the Image tab, and choose Relative Colorimetric from the Color Correction drop down menu. Click Apply.
  3. Print a test card – if the image is still printing faded or light, click on the Printhead Power Options button.
  4. Increase the Yellow, Magenta, Cyan power to 70. Please note: do not increase the power over 90, this will cause the ribbon to break due to the heat. Click Apply, and print another test card.

The basic troubleshooting should fix most printing problems. If you are still not getting the print quality you want, however, you can read the full article and see the advanced troubleshooting on the Magicard Enduro3E Support Page.
