Product features

This card printer allows printing of high-quality, full- color images equivalent to photographic quality onto standard size (ISO 7810 compliance) plastic cards using sublimation type transfer printing.

Use of sublimation type retransfer printing enables printing of cards other than those made of PVC and non-contact IC cards, etc. with uneven surfaces that were previously difficult to print directly.

Some card materials may not be suitable for printing. Consult your dealer regarding the materials to be used and specifications required before purchase.

Printing with no margins on all sides is possible.

The host interface utilizes SCSI (asynchronous) mode. The unit has a built-in SCSI bus terminator.

Take note of the following points when handling print media (retransfer film and ink ribbons) and cards.

Use of bent or damaged cards may result in card feed error.

Static build-up in the print media or cards can cause errors. To avoid causing static electricity, do not rub cards together.

When replacing or replenishing print media or cards that have been stored at low temperatures, let the print media or cards sit for at least one hour at the same temperature as location where the printer is to be used before use. Using print media or cards as they are may cause condensation and result in malfunction or print errors.
