Product Features
Technical Overview
This printer employs a color dye sublimation/thermal transfer process using yellow, magenta, and cyan ribbons to produce vibrant, photographic-quality images on both sides of CR-80 standard cards. The 1 GB onboard memory supports efficient job processing, while the integrated OLED display provides clear status updates and configuration visibility.
Connectivity is handled through USB and Ethernet ports, allowing the printer to be shared across a network. The unit accepts a wide range of card materials from 40 mil thickness, including PVC, PET, PETG, polycarbonate, and smart card variants. An internal card flattener module helps maintain card flatness during printing, and an optional patch material laminator adds an extra layer of protection for finished cards.
