I have worked with card printers of the sort you talk about and yes, there is a manufacturer that tends to put out a better printed card most of the time. The name escapes me at this moment, but perhaps I shall recall at a later point in time.

We used to find that our cards tended to get 'stuck' or sometimes just 'drop' out of the machine. The first time we got the 'drop' we turned the machine on its side and discovered a panel that had been designed in (2 screws) that happens to be where dropped cards always fall. It seemed to us at the time, that they discovered the 'drop' effect after it had been built and then just added a cutout and panel to handle tha t occurance (instead of redesigning it). The other main problem it used to have was the card would get stuck which would give it a 'scratchy' appearance and then cause problems for our 'toasters' to scan the 2 dim barcoded fingerprints back into the computer.
