For cards thicker than 40 mils (1. 02 mm), the card design must have at least a 5mm unprinted border along all edges. For cards with thickness between 20 mils (0. 51 mm) and 40 mils (1. 02 mm), these restrictions do not apply; full color printing is permitted edge to edge in both directions. 26 P330i & P330m Card Printer User's Manual 980459-001 Rev C Printing a Card Feeding One Card at a Time 8.
