What is a Rewrite ID Card Printer?

Rewriteable ID card printers use thermo-sensitive materials that enable you to print, erase, and reprint information on a single plastic card hundreds of times. This technology requires no printer ribbon and allows you to reuse cards, making it friendly on the environment and your pocketbook! Rewriteable printers are a great choice for printing loyalty cards, library cards, visitor badges, or any application where there's a need to print cards with frequently changing information. Most rewriteable printers are also capable of printing in full-color when a color ribbon is installed. For example, the Fargo DTC1000 offers dye-sublimation for vivid color printing and resin thermal transfer for sharp black text as well as a built-in erase and rewrite function. Some printers, such as the Evolis Tattoo 2 Rewrite, are designed for rewrite printing only. If your card printing program may require full-color printing in the future, choose a printer that is capable of both. Interested in learning more about rewriteable printers?
