Monochrome printing uses resin thermal transfer. Both technologies produce edge-to-edge results, so logos and backgrounds reach the full card face without a white border. Colour printing At 280 cards per hour, the single-sided model can process roughly 2,200 cards in a standard working day. The printer's colour profile system adjusts output to keep photos, logos and custom graphics accurate and consistent across long print runs. High-resolution mode The 300 × 1200 dpi monochrome printing mode sharpens text and barcodes significantly. It's worth enabling for cards that carry small-font information or machine-read codes like QR codes. Dual-sided printing The double-sided (also called the duplex) model prints both faces of the card automatically at up to 170 cards per hour. If you need to print terms, barcodes or access info..
