PVC Card Printers
PVC Card Printing
A PVC card printer is a specialised desktop solution designed to print high-quality, durable identification and access cards on demand. Unlike standard paper printers, these machines use thermal transfer or dye-sublimation technology to fuse crisp text and vibrant images directly onto plastic surfaces.
Common Technologies
- Direct-to-Card (DTC): The fastest and most affordable method, ideal for high-volume printing of standard ID and membership cards.
- Retransfer (High Definition): Prints onto a clear film first for "over-the-edge" coverage and superior durability. This is the recommended choice for cards with uneven surfaces, such as those with embedded RFID or contact chips.
