FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A card printer is a thermal printer that produces color or monochrome prints on standard-sized cards (such as PVC, Mifare, Proximity, etc.).
Today, it facilitates the printing of various cards, including student IDs, transportation passes, hostel cards, hotel keys, and customer loyalty cards.
Card printers can print in two ways: Thermal Transfer or Re-transfer.
In Thermal printers, the print head reaches a specific temperature to transfer colors from a ribbon onto the card, completing the printing process directly on the card.
In Re-transfer printers, the image to be printed is first transferred onto a clear transfer film by the print head, which heats the ribbon to transfer colors. Then, the image on the transparent film is transferred onto the card using heat in a separate unit.
In this printing technique, the print head does not come into contact with the card. The print quality is very high, and there are no gaps left at the edges of the printed card.
The machines should generally be cleaned periodically, and the cleaning interval should not exceed the printing of 1,000 cards. Otherwise, the machine will be out of warranty. Additionally, cleaning can also be performed after each ribbon change. This way, the printing lifespan and print quality of the machine will be enhanced.
Please ensure that you are using the original adapter. If the issue persists, please contact our Technical Service.
