SMART-81 Retransfer Card Printer
Why Choose a Retransfer Printer?
The SMART-81 allows you to produce durable, photo-quality ID cards with consistent edge-to-edge results—ideal for corporate credentials, access control badges, and smart card applications.
How does it work?
Retransfer printing outputs the image onto a transfer film before fusing it to the card surface. This method delivers superior image quality and more consistent coverage—especially for cards with embedded chips or uneven surfaces.
