Direct-to-card VS Retransfer Printing

Direct-to-card (Sigma Series)

Direct-to-card printing is a straightforward and efficient method where the printhead applies ink directly onto the surface of the card. This technology is ideal for organisations that require fast, reliable, and cost-effective card issuance for everyday applications such as employee IDs, student cards, and membership credentials.
Direct-to-card printers are typically compact, easy to operate, and well suited to low-to-medium volume printing environments. While they produce sharp text and vibrant images, a small unprinted border is usually left around the edge of the card due to the printing process. For many standard applications, this offers an excellent balance of quality, speed, and affordability.
Retransfer (Artista CR805)

Retransfer printing uses an advanced two-stage process where the image is first printed onto a clear film and then thermally bonded to the card surface. This enables over the edge coverage, delivering high-definition print quality with smooth gradients and precise colour reproduction. It is ideal for organisations that require a more premium finish.
This technology is particularly effective for high-security or high-value credentials, including corporate access cards, financial cards, and government IDs. It also performs reliably on uneven surfaces such as contactless cards with embedded chips. With enhanced durability and a superior overall finish, retransfer printing is the preferred choice where quality and longevity are essential.
