Have you ever wondered how an ID card printer works? It’s a completely different process compared to an ink jet printer, and we’ve introduced a new Learning Center section to help you understand why! In this new ID Card Printer Technology & Options section you’ll learn all about ID card printers, cards, and ribbons.
The new ID Card Printers section will cover any question you have about ID cards, from what the difference is between dye sublimation and reverse transfer, to how lamination can really add so much durability to an ID card. Additionally, you’ll learn about:
- Single-Sided vs. Dual-Sided
- Dye Sub vs. Reverse Transfer
- Single Feed vs. Batch Feed
- Rewritable Printers
- Laminating Printers
- Encoding Printers
- USB, Ethernet & WiFi Connectivity
The ID Cards section will help you understand the differences between cards, so you’ll know when to use them and which ones are best for your specific ID card program. For example, if you want to laminate cards you’ll need to use PVC/Poly composite cards instead of standard PVC cards because a standard PVC card can warp and bend in the heat necessary for laminating!
In this section you’ll learn about:
- ID Card Material
- ID Card Size
- Color ID Cards
- Rewritable ID Cards
- Encoded ID Cards
In the Printer Ribbons section, you’ll learn how ID card printers use the ribbons and how to read the print yield. You can also see the different types of ribbons, which range from a standard YMCKO to scratch off ribbons for gift cards.
