Resin Thermal Transfer Printer

Resin Thermal Transfer uses a single-color ribbon to print sharp black text and crisp bar codes on plastic pvc cards, which can be read by both infrared and visible-light bar code scanners (readers). Other colors available are red, green, blue, yellow, silver, and gold. This process uses the same thermal printhead as dye-sublimation; however solid dots of color are transferred rather than a combination of colors.

Thermal Transfer Printer

While composite colors such as facial images on ID cards or security badges, the resin thermal transfer process will not be as clear as with dye-sublimation printing; an advantage of resin thermal transfer is that it does not require an overcoat to prevent fading. It therefore requires only a single pass through the printer. This means that cards may be produced quickly, the completed card will cost less and ribbon changes will be less frequent.
