ZXP Series 8 Retransfer Card Printer Data Sheet 3
Unlike traditional direct-to-card
printers, which use a printhead
that prints through a ribbon
directly onto the card, retransfer
printers print onto a flexible,
transparent film that is then
thermally bonded to the card.
ABOUT RETRANSFER PRINTING TECHNOLOGY
In General, Benefits of Retransfer Printing Include:
•
Higher image quality and print resolution
•
The ability to print on uneven card surfaces such as
smart cards
•
True edge-to-edge printing (via over-the-edge
printing). Traditional card printers leave a white
border at the edges of the card.
•
The ability to print on non-PVC cards. Direct-to-card
printers require a dye-receiving surface available only
through PVC cards.
• More durable and abrasion-resistant cards
• Fraud protection, since the film is inherently
tamper-evident
Advantages of Zebra’s Innovative Retransfer
Card Printer
Zebra’s ZXP Series 8 printer achieves the fastest
print speed while maintaining top image quality,
making it the best-in-class retransfer printer available
on the market.
•
Zebra achieves print speeds that far exceed any
other retransfer printer, and that are comparable to
many of the fastest direct-to-card printers on the
market today.
•
Zebra’s image-processing technology compensates
for image errors normally caused by high printing
speeds—enabling photo-quality images and print
resolution even at increased print speeds.
•
Zebra’s patented image transfer process applies film
to both sides of the card in a single pass, drastically
reducing the print time.
The result is photo-like image quality and
best-in-class throughput for mainstream printing,
encoding and laminating—so you enjoy increased
operational efficiency.
