Direct to Card Printing Technology
This ID card printer uses advanced “direct-to-card” technology, where ink is directly diffused onto a blank PVC or composite card through a ribbon. The print head heats up and contacts the ribbon and card in a seamless, one-step process. Direct-to-card printers are highly efficient, making them ideal for high-volume printing environments. The method ensures reliable, consistent results, producing “edge-to-edge” prints that nearly cover the entire card, with only a narrow unprinted border. This technology offers a balance of speed, quality, and cost-effectiveness, making it a smart choice for organizations with regular security or visitor management needs.
Single-Sided ID Card Printing
This ID card printer is optimized for single-sided printing, focusing on efficiency and precision for projects where content is only needed on one side of the card. Its streamlined design makes it a cost-effective and straightforward solution for organizations that don’t require dual-sided printing capabilities. By dedicating its technology to one side at a time, the printer ensures consistent, high-quality output with each card, making it perfect for applications like employee IDs, membership cards, or visitor badges. Should your needs evolve to require dual-sided printing, additional passes, upgraded modules, or new equipment would be required to achieve that functionality.
