Retransfer Printing Technology Highlights

Traditional direct-to-card printers use a printhead that prints through a ribbon directly onto the card. Retransfer printers print onto a flexible, transparent film that is then thermally bonded to the card creating a more durable, scratch-resistant product. This retransfer technology produces images with optimal quality that are more vibrant and saturated, even on uneven card surfaces such as key tag or smart cards.

Benefits of Zebra’s Innovative Retransfer Card Printer

Higher image quality with vibrant, rich colors. The ability to print on uneven card surfaces such as smart cards. True edge-to-edge printing (via over-the- edge printing). Traditional card printers leave a white border at the edges of the card. The ability to print on non-PVC cards. Direct- to-card printers require a dye-receiving surface, which is not available on all non-PVC cards. More durable and abrasion-resistant cards that don’t require an additional overlay or varnish. Built-in fraud protection with inherently tamper-evident film.
