Thermal transfer printers are used for printing monochromatic cards, and use a heat transfer element to transfer special ink from a thermal transfer ribbon to a blank plastic card.

Thermal transfer printers print cards much faster than dye sublimation or high definition ID card printers, and are therefore very popular for simple employee ID badges and school ID cards. AlphaCard offers a wide range of thermal transfer card printers, suitable for any application. Wondering which type of thermal transfer printer is right for you?
