Do you have questions about ID card printers? We have answers!

How are ID cards printed?

There are two types of card printers in the market today. The more affordable ones are direct-to-card printers. They print your card artwork directly on the surface of blank PVC cards through a process called dye sublimation. Retransfer printers, on the other hand, are slightly more expensive but they offer many benefits like true full-bleed printing as well as color-accurate and photo-realistic printouts. Retransfer printers print your card artwork onto the reverse side of a transparent film that is then thermally applied to the card. This method seals the printed image between the card and the film.

What brands of card printers are available?

The ID card industry is a very vibrant one, with several industry innovators endlessly thinking up solutions that make workplaces, schools, businesses, and institutions safe and secure. ID Superstore carries a wide range of printer models from all the leading brands including Datacard, Fargo, Evolis, Magicard, NBS, Nisca and Zebra.
