Features of Re-transfer Technologies
About Re-transfer Printing CX-7600/CX-7000
Offset quality edge to edge printing
First, Re-transfer printer prints image onto receiving layer of re-transfer film. Second, it laminates(re-transfers) the image from base film on re-transfer film onto card surface.
-
process①：Printed image on re-transfer film.
-
process②: Completely edge to edge.
Re-transfer Printing System is the most suitable for IC cards.

Highest photo quality realized by sharp contrast

Example of light diffusion
Flat surface prevents the light from diffusing. Therefore it is enable to realize clear contrast.

Re-transfer printing does not break print-head due to foreign particles
Re-transfer printer does not print on hard surface plastic card, prints on flexible re-transfer film.
In case foreign particle was on the re-transfer film, it is sunk into soft rubber roller and does not scratch surface of print head.

Direct Printer might have a damage on thermal printhead, due to a top of thermal printhead contcts on foreing particles directly.
Suitable for various types of card
PVC cards
The surface of PVC card is porous.Dye inks can penetrate only porous surface.
Non-PVC cards
Generally, the surface non-PVC cards (Polyester, Polycarbonate, ABS) is not porous. Re-transfer printer prints on dedicated receiving layer on re-transfer film instead of card surface, and then, laminates (re-transfer) re-transfer film with printed image onto card surface.
