Card Printers

We supply a comprehensive range of card printers for every application in Singapore, including single-sided retransfer printers for basic photo ID cards, high-capacity dual-side printers for efficient dual-sided printing, and secure issuance printers for encoding access control credentials.

Direct-to-card (DTC) printers are the most common and cost-effective. They print directly onto the card surface and are ideal for standard PVC ID cards. Retransfer printers first print onto a film which is then thermally bonded to the card. This method produces superior, edge-to-edge image quality and is more durable, especially on cards with chips or uneven surfaces.

For small to medium-sized businesses, we recommend a reliable single-sided direct-to-card printer like the Zebra ZC300 or Polaroid P200. They offer an excellent balance of print quality, ease of use, and affordability for producing professional-looking ID badges. For businesses needing to track staff ID cards or manage checkouts efficiently, consider complementing your setup with a Zebra DS2208 2D barcode scanner.

Yes. Many of our card printers, such as the Polaroid P900, come with optional smart card encoders. This allows you to not only print the card's design but also program contactless (MIFARE, DESFire) or contact smart chips, and magnetic stripes, all in one step.

Most printers include basic card design software to get you started. For advanced features and database integration, we recommend and support professional software like PESONA ID or CardPresso, which can seamlessly connect to your employee database.

Our printers are compatible with standard PVC cards, and can also handle a variety of materials including PET polyester (for greater durability), composite cards, and even eco-friendly cards made from recycled materials to print employee ID cards.

Absolutely. We provide full local warranty, free delivery and installation, remote and onsite technical support, as well as supply genuine printer ribbons, PVC cards and printheads in Singapore. We also stock printer maintenance kits to help you keep your printer in optimal condition and extend its lifespan.

Yes. For high-security applications, we offer printers capable of adding secure elements like UV ink printing, color holographic laminates, and microtext. The Polaroid P8600 is an excellent printer for such requirements.

Cards printed using dye-sublimation are highly durable and resistant to fading, scratching, and everyday wear and tear. The dye is infused beneath the card's surface. For maximum durability, especially for frequently used PVC cards, a retransfer printer with an optional protective laminate overlay is the best solution.

Printing speed varies by model. Entry-level printers produce about 100-150 cards per hour, while high-volume models can print 200-300 cards per hour. We can help you choose a model based on your daily volume to ensure it meets your operational needs without bottlenecking.
