Troubleshooting

Magicard HoloKote Issues: Calibration and Service

HoloKote drift, missing watermark, or uneven application is almost always a calibration or printhead issue.

Verify HoloKote is enabled in the driver

HoloKote application is driver-controlled. Confirm the correct HoloKote pattern is selected and the feature is enabled for the print job.

Printhead and overlay panel

HoloKote is applied via the overlay (O) panel of the ribbon. A failing printhead element shows as a missing watermark in a fixed location.

Calibration

Run the Magicard calibration routine. If drift persists, bench calibration restores HoloKote to spec.
