Datacard Group Color ID Card Printers

Color ID card printers combine two markedly different printing technologies: dye sublimation, using the three process colors yellow/magenta/cyan (YMC) for photo-realistic images, and mass transfer, using resin-coated film, for machine readable text and barcodes (usually in black). Color ID card printers are available as single-sided or dual-sided printers and could print at 203 or 300 dpi print resolution. Some have the option of encoding magstripe cards or smart cards.
