1.1.1 Description of Equipment 

 

 

  This equipment is a full color card printer to print image, characters and

 

protective 

 

 

overlay on a plastic card based on the data supplied from personal computer.

 

 

  Printing method is dye sublimation heat transfer printing for color image and heat  
melted ink transfer printing system for characters 

(

black

)

 and protective overlay. With  

standard built in Flip Turn Block, both side printing is possible in single operation.  

 

 Magnetic encoding is possible on the magnetic stripe of the card by connecting 

 

 Magnetic Encoding Unit, which is available as an optional unit. Also, as an option, Heat 

Roller Unit is available for printing hologram coating and thicker protective overlay.
