A card printer is a desktop printing machine used to personalize and print plastic cards such as ID Cards, Loyalty Cards, Gift Cards and more.
ID Card printers offer a convenient, simple and cost-effective way to manage your staff, membership or gift cards. Printers have become much more accessible in recent years, steadily decreasing in price while increasing in functionality and usability.

2) Dye Sublimation (DTC) or Reverse Transfer (Retransfer)
DTC is the most common desktop printer type. They’re, compact, cost-effective and easy to use. Retransfer printers are similar in terms of functionality but they offer a much better print quality. However, these printers are much more expensive and slower.
3). Volume:
Entry level machines are simply not equipped with the print engines to handle large volumes of cards. Entry level machines should be limited to 1000 – 2000 cards per-year. Any more than that, it’s advisable to upgrade to a more robust machine with large input and output hoppers.
