Function Description
Resin
Thermal
Transfer
Resin Thermal Transfer is the print method the Printer uses to print
sharp black text and crisp bar codes that can be read by both infrared
and visible-light bar code scanners.
Like Dye-Sublimation, this process uses the same thermal Printhead
to transfer color to a card from a resin-only Print Ribbon or the resin
black (K) panel of a full color Print Ribbon.
The difference, however, is that solid dots of resin-based ink are
transferred and fused to the surface of the card. (
Note:
This
produces very durable, saturated printing.)
