• Direct to Card Printing
  Zebra’s Value class, Performance class, and Security class card printers print directly to plastic cards using dye sublimation and/or thermal transfer printing. With thermal transfer printing, ink from a ribbon is heated and transferred directly onto the surface of a plastic card. With dye sublimation, heat vaporizes the ribbon dye, which then permeates the plastic card. Both print methods allow for color or monochromatic printing.
• Retransfer Printing
  Unlike direct to card printing, retransfer printers print onto a flexible, transparent film that is then thermally bonded to the card. This print method is ideal for printing on uneven card surfaces, such as smart cards, or for when the application calls for very high image quality or cards that are more durable and abrasion resistant.
