In this process, also known as direct card printing, the cards are printed by heating the various fields of the ribbons with a print head. The three primary colors (yellow, magenta, and cyan) are applied to the substrate in succession using dye sublimation printing. This allows for a resolution of 300 dpi to be achieved and guarantees a professional result. To ensure perfect readability of texts and barcodes, these are printed using thermal transfer with a black field. Finally, the printed card is sealed with a protective coating, ensuring high image quality and optimal protection for cards that can be used for up to three years.
