Introduction to Digital Card Printing

Plastic cards are prevalent in our daily lives, from credit cards to driver's licenses, membership cards to employee identification badges. Their standard size, portability, and durability make them the ideal choice for many applications.

Digital plastic card printers offer the ability to create customized cards on demand, right at the point of issuance. With a computer and an image capture system, such as a digital camera, plastic card printers provide the delivery point of a highly integrated system. At just a few seconds per card, the printing process is fast, so that cards are generated and personalized immediately, quickly connecting the customer or cardholder to the issuing organization or program.

Digitally printed plastic cards provide numerous technological features, but start with a blank card that can be printed with a plastic card printer along with any combination of artwork, graphics, text, digital photograph, bar codes, logos, etc., limited only by the issuers' imagination. Additional machine-readable information, such as magnetic stripes and smart card chips, can also be encoded. Digital plastic card printing with a digital printer represents the next generation of card production. With the technology of a plastic card printer, this integrates the card delivery process into the electronic environment that helps you manage your business or agency.
