Understanding Technologies for

Creating High-Security ID Cards

2A Zebra Technologies White Paper

A Zebra Technologies White Paper

Before you purchase a card printer, there are a few things you should know about ID cards and printers. The

type of printer you choose will depend on:

• The type of card you plan to use

• How many cards you plan to print

• How often you need to print cards

• What printing elements you need to incorporate into your card

• The quality of card images

• Type of encoding required on the card

There are ﬁve major factors to consider:

1. Card size. Most plastic cards found in wallets and purses have the same

physical dimensions. This is the standard CR-80 card, measuring about

3.375 x 2.125 inches (85.5 mm x 54 mm). The standard thickness is 30 mil

(0.75 mm), but can range from 10 to 60 mil.

2. Printing speeds. Card printers come with a variety of card printing speeds

depending on whether you need to print both sides of the card or just one

side of the card. In general, the faster the cards are printed, the more expensive the printer. The needs

of the printer speed will be determined on the application. For example, with on-premise/on-demand

printing, mass/duplication printing (same card printed multiple times), or one-offs.

3. The physical properties of the printer. If you are limited on work space, you’ll want a printer with a

small footprint. If other work must be accomplished while the printer is printing, you will also want to

make sure you purchase a printer that’s on the quiet side. While the size and loudness of a printer may

not be a concern in a factory, it might be important in an application such as a small ofﬁce, retail store,

or cruise ship.

4. Ease of use. A card printer should be easy to use, right out of the box, especially if the user is not

familiar with card printers.

5. The type of printing you want—thermal, dye sublimation, mass transfer printing, or direct-to-card or

retransfer printing. These are discussed in detail below.

Thermal Printing

Like all other computer-based printers in the ofﬁce, today’s photo ID printers are digital. Resolutions of 300

dots per inch (dpi) or more are common in ofﬁce printers, so the problem of jagged edges is largely a thing

of the past. Most photo IDs are printed by digital thermal transfer, a process by which color is transferred

from a single-use ribbon to various kinds of receptor materials.

There are two distinctly different thermal transfer technologies: dye

sublimation, using the three process colors yellow/magenta/cyan (YMC) for

photo-realistic images, and mass transfer, for machine readable text and bar

codes (usually in black). Both technologies use a stationary printhead

comprising a row of closely spaced resistive elements—tiny heaters, 200 or

300 to the inch, independently energized by the printer controller. Sandwiched

by spring pressure between the printhead and the receptor is the inking

ribbon, which may be either a resin-coated ﬁlm for mass transfer, or a series of process-color dye panels

for dye sublimation. The receptor card is driven through the print station, with the ribbon metered out at the

same speed from the supply roll.
