Cleaning kit: Evolis strongly recommends using a cleaning card every time you change a ribbon. Common cleaning kit numbers are ACL001 (Standard) or ACL002 (Comprehensive).
PVC card printers are primarily used for printing employee ID cards, membership cards, student ID cards, or access control cards. Depending on your print volume and requirements for image quality and security, they are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, schools, or retail stores, primarily employing "Direct-to-Card" technology. They support duplex printing and card rewriting.
They achieve an excellent balance between performance, security, and durability. Suitable for placement on office counters or in space-constrained environments for printing access control cards or membership cards.
For high-end retransfer printers requiring "bleed" printing (full-page printing without white borders) or printing on non-flat cards (such as RFID cards containing chips), retransfer technology is recommended.
Technology and Purchasing Recommendations
Direct Printing: Low cost, fast speed. Minor white edges may appear; chip cards are easily damaged. Suitable for general employee ID cards and membership cards.
Retransfer Printing: Full-page printing, excellent image quality, protects the chip. Higher machine cost, slower speed. Suitable for high-end identification cards and chip cards.
Ribbon: YMCKO (full-color) is suitable for photo ID cards; Monochrome is suitable for printing barcodes or names.
Single/Double-sided: If the back needs to print terms of use or barcodes, it is recommended to purchase a double-sided model to save manual flipping time.
What is the estimated monthly card printing volume, and is it necessary to add RFID/magnetic stripe sensing functionality to the cards?
