What is a retransfer printer?

The name of a retransfer card printer is derived from "to retransfer." This means to transfer. The print isn't printed directly onto the card, but onto a foil layer. This foil is then transferred to the card.

Retransfer printing is simple, reliable, and affordable.

Why retransfer

Advantages of a Retransfer Printer

High-definition printing for cards that look better and last longer.

Protective Foil Layer

The foil layer on top protects the print well. Just like the laminate layer with offset printing, your card is protected against scratches, damage, and discoloration.

Superb Print Quality

With a retransfer printer, you get vibrant colors and a razor-sharp image. Almost like offset printing. Ideal for highlighting the quality of your brand or company.

Highly Durable Cards and Passes

Cards printed by a retransfer printer last much longer. They are scratch-resistant and retain their beauty longer, thanks to the protective film between the image and the exterior. They are also tamper-proof: if a counterfeiter tries to open a card, the image becomes unusable.

Print to the Edge

With a retransfer printer, there are no white edges on the outside. The print covers 100% of the card surface. With other printers, you will always see a tiny white line on the outside.
