High Definition Card Printers

High-definition printers produce highly-secure, durable ID cards with photo-quality images, vivid colors and sharp text. Traditional ID printers use a dye-sublimination process to deposit ink directly onto cards. High-definition printers use a reverse transfer process. First, a mirror image of the card design is printed on a thin clear sheath, often made from mylar. Then, pressure and heat fuses the sheath image-side down to the plastic card. This unique process creates a card that is visually-correct, with the ink sandwiched between the plastic card and sheath.


High-definition cards are naturally protected against alterations, as any attempt to remove the sheath will ruin the images and text. Another benefit of high-definition printers is that they can print on cards with a matte finish and on uneven surfaces, such as smart and proximity cards. Many high-definition printers are capable of producing clear or holographic overlaminates to cards for additional protection.

Not sure how to choose
an ID card printer?

  1. Approximately how many cards
    will you print per year?
  1. Do you need to automatically
    print on both sides of the card?
  1. Do you need a magnetic stripe?
