Frequently Asked Questions

An ID Card Printer is a specially designed desktop machine that accepts PVC Plastic Cards in the CR80 size (54mmx86mm). The Plastic Card Printer will use a dye-sublimation method to lay down a coloured or resin ribbon to the card in a crisp and durable finish such as Sigma DS2. Other ID Card Printer machines such as the Artista Range utilise Retransfer pigment-ink, which is highly durable and produces brilliant colours, over the edge of the card.

ID cards are used for identification, access to buildings or membership ID Cards in many industries ranging from education, government, gaming, corporate and many more.
