Direct to card printers (DTC)

DTC printers are the most popular card printers. The main benefits are that they are easy to set up, reliable and have low cost consumables. Ribbon Select offer a wide range of consumables for your DTC printers and can be bought here.

Re transfer card printers

Re transfer printers are a more secure way of printing and used for high volumes. A mirror image is printed onto a clear piece of film (re transfer film) which is then fused onto the card. The benefits are clarity of the images, able to print on proximity cards and able to print large volumes of cards.
