Swiftpro Printers

Swiftpro K30 Retransfer ID Card Printer Overview Cards that carry access credentials, smart chips or detailed security print need a retransfer printer. The chip or antenna sits slightly proud of the card surface, and a printhead moving across it can leave a blemish on the card. Retransfer printing solves this by printing the image onto a clear film first, then fusing that film onto the card. The result is a clean, edge-to-edge finish regardless of surface irregularities. The Swiftpro K30 retransfer ID card printer prints single-sided as standard, with a double-sided upgrade available, at 300dpi and up to 120 full colour cards per hour. It suits corporate ID programmes, healthcare trusts, universities and any organisation that issues smart access cards in volume and needs the print quality and data security to match.

The colour image is printed in reverse onto a clear retransfer film. That film is then heat-fused onto the card surface. Every card comes out with true edge-to-edge coverage and no white border at the card edge. Why it matters for smart cards. On a card with an embedded chip or contactless antenna wire, the raised surface can cause a direct-to-card printhead to skip slightly, leaving a mark. Because the K30 prints to ..
