Primary transferring unit
The primary transferring unit uses a 600-dpi thermal line scan head, which is installed near the inked ribbon.
It transfers ink from the inked ribbon to the transfer film while moving the inked ribbon and transfer film.
This mechanism is called thermal transferring. The inked ribbon uses dye-sublimation (CMY: cyan, magenta,
yellow) for printing-colored images, pigment-sublimation (K: black), a heat seal, a stripping section, and a UV
unit.
• Secondary transferring unit
The secondary transferring unit uses a heat roller to transfer images from the transfer film to the cards. This
mechanism is also called thermal transferring.
•
Card feeder unit
The card feeder is installed in the upper portion of the printer. Cards are stacked horizontally with the surface
(printing surface) of the cards facing the left side of the printer. Users can load a maximum of 250 cards
(thickness: 0.76 mm) at once.
The card feeder is a detachable cartridge, so it is easy to attach or detach it during printing. The cartridge
allows user to refill cards when it is attached to or detached from the printer.
•
Cleaning unit
