What are the Benefits of 600 DPI Printing?
600 dpi printing allows you to print very intricate images, as well as tiny text. Creating vivid, highly-detailed artwork on your ID cards has never been easier. The high-definition printing of the HDP6600 also makes it possible to print intricate characters that were previously not possible, such as those used in Cyrillic or Mandarin.
What is a Retransfer Printer?
Retransfer printers print card images to clear retransfer film that is then fused to the surface of a card with intense heat. This type of printing process allows rich, vibrant images that covers the entire surface of your cards. It also allows you to print images to cards with uneven surfaces, such as prox cards, smart cards, perforated cards, and more. Printing to these types of cards with a direct-to-card printer could result in damage to the printhead if the uneven surface comes in contact with the printhead. The retransfer printing process eliminates this risk as the printhead does not come into direct contact with the card. It is this same process that allows the printer to create true over the edge images rather than leaving a small border around the edge of the card.
