A Desktop Retransfer Card Printer that uses a two-step print process instead of a traditional dye-sub direct-to-card technology. The card design is first printed onto a durable overlay transfer film, which is then bonded onto the card’s surface using a combination of heat and pressure.
Desktop Retransfer Card Printers are a type of card printer that uses a different printing process compared to direct-to-card printers. Instead of printing directly onto the card's surface, retransfer printers transfer the image from a specialized film to the card. This process involves two steps: printing the image onto a transparent film, and then thermally bonding the film to the card.Using a retransfer printer will allow you to produce high-definition ID cards that are known as ‘over-the-edge ID cards. This means there is no white border left around the edge of the card; something that happens if you’re using a direct-to-card machine. You can watch more about the differences between direct-to-card and retransfer printers in the video below.Retransfer printers offer high-resolution printing, resulting in sharp and vibrant images, text, and graphics on the card. They can produce true over-the-edge printing, covering the entire card surface without any white borders.
