Professional Plastic Card Printers


Our card printers are professional models that do not give you the mis-feeds and headaches of other brands of printers.  They work with practically any type of Windows based software and some models include the eMedia suite, which is Windows based software that allows you to layout your own cards.  Unlike other brands of printers that require a separate laminator attachment and a separate lamination roll, our printers use an embedded varnish layer to protect the printing.  Eliminating the lamination layer provides a thinner, more professional looking printed card.  It also prevents the card from "splitting" because there is not a separate lamination layer to peel off.  

Picking the correct model is straightforward.  The "Pebble" makes full color prints on one side of the card.  The "Dualys" model makes full color prints on both sides of the card.  The "Tatoo" is a single sided economy printer that only prints in one color (usually black). There are also Apple Macintosh versions of some models.
