Introduction
ISIC, IYTC & ITIC Cards are issued using an online program called CardMaster.Net. CardMaster.Net prints the cardholder details onto a transparent label which is then attached to the card. The Labels are printed using a custom printer. The details entered into CardMaster.Net are stored, and may be exported to an Excel or Text file for other purposes.

Up to five custom fields (for example 'Student ID Number') can be assigned into the data collection, printing and export process.
The Name on Card field is auto-completed by CardMaster.Net, using the First Name & Surname fields. This can be manually changed.
ISIC, IYTC and ITIC cards carry a unique card number. The final six digits of this are entered into the Card Number field.
Clicking on Print PDL stores the data and prints the Cardholder details label (a.k.a. PDL). CardMaster.Net auto selects the PDL printer; a normal 'Print dialog window' is not displayed.

Hold back the adhesive-cover and place the cardholder photo.

The holographic, tamperproof cover holds the photo in place and prevents the details from being changed.
