The Prima 4 printer’s reverse transfer printing technology delivers superb print

quality and is the ideal choice for printing technology embedded cards, as well as

high volume batch printing.

The process works like this:

The ID card image is printed from the YMCK dye film onto a clear retransfer film in a “reverse image”, and is then

laminated onto the card surface. The printed image is protected from scratching and fading by the clear film layer.

In comparison, dye sublimation printers transfer the dyes directly onto the card surface using thermal transfer dye

diffusion technology, followed by a thin acrylic varnish. Both methods use YMCK dye films, but the reverse transfer

method uses an additional polyester transfer film.

film, or thicker overlaminate patches, the result is always superb.

Front loading of the lamination rolls is convenient and user friendly. The inline lamination unit is user programmable.

Temperature and speed settings can be adjusted via the front panel display for optimum results with varying card

types including PVC, PVH, ABS, 100% PET and even Polycarbonate.
