How often should I clean my Pronto100 and what's the process?
Clean your Pronto100 every 700 cards or when you change the ribbon. Use the included cleaning kit with pre-saturated cleaning cards and isopropyl alcohol pen. Run the cleaning card through the printer like a normal card, then gently clean the printhead with the alcohol pen.
Does the Pronto100 work with third-party ribbons and cards?
Use approved Magicard consumables. Warranty coverage is conditional on approved supplies and proper maintenance. Third-party ribbons may cause print quality issues, ribbon errors, or void your warranty. Genuine ribbons include RFID chips that ensure proper operation.

What should I do if my Pronto100 shows ribbon errors?
First, make sure you're using genuine Magicard ribbons with RFID chips. Check that the ribbon is seated properly and the cartridge clicked into place. If problems persist, try a different ribbon to isolate whether it's a ribbon or printer issue.
