Direct-Card-Printing technology
Direct-Card-Printing technology is most
commonly used in desktop ID systems
to print images and data directly onto
the surface of a plastic card.
This process of dye sublimation printing
uses a dye-based ribbon that is partitio-
ned into a number of consecutive color
panels. The panels are grouped in a
repeating series of colors – Yellow,
Magenta, Cyan, and a Carbon (or
Resin) Black (YMCK) – along the length
of the ribbon. During printing, a print
head containing hundreds of thermal
elements heats the dyes on the ribbon,
which vaporize and permeate the surfa-
ce of the card. A separate pass is made
for each of the three dye-sub color
panels. By combining the colors and
varying the heat used to transfer them,
the printer is able to produce up to 16.7
million colors.
If you want to print sharp black text and
crisp bar codes, which can be read by
both infrared and visible-light scanners,
you should use the resin thermal trans-
fer method. This process transfers
images with the monochrome, carbon
black ribbon panel in a way similar to
the dye sublimation process. Instead of
the color dispersing into the card surfa-
ce, the resin or carbon black is transfer-
red directly onto the card surface as
opaque dots.
