Rewritable Technology
Rewriting is possible due to a special rewritable card stock that features a layer of heat-sensitive material which overlays a conventional PVC substrate.
Embedded within the heat-sensitive layer are unique dye and developer that chemically bond when heated to a specific temperature and rapidly cooled.
Datacard Confidential 11
Rewritable Printing
Datacard Confidential 12
Rewritable Printing Technology
• Printing is the function of the rewritable card and
printhead via heat
• The printer ribbon is removed for printing on the
rewritable card
• Other SP/CP series printers cannot be configured to
use rewritable cards by removing the ribbon
• Datacard offers rewritable cards
• Rewritable cards are more expensive initially, they
can be reused up to 500 times which will result in a
lower cost per card
Datacard Confidential 13
Uses for Rewritable Technology
Retail
• Beauty salons and other shops that take appointments can issue rewritable appointment cards for clients.
Entertainment
• Lottery tickets, gaming cards
• Tickets for concerts and sporting events
• Membership cards for health clubs
Corporate ID
• Temporary and visitor IDs that include a name and photo, yet can be returned at the end of the visit and easily reused for a different visitor.
Education
• Schools, colleges and universities can print a student’s photo and demographics on a fully rewritable ID, or print a photo on the PVC side and use the rewritable side to print a class schedule or school events calendar.

Why do we need color
management?
Monitors and printers have
different color standards
Without color management, a
printer will create the image in its
own “native” interpretation of the
RGB values
The resulting color images on
the printed card will vary from
the image on the screen

DATACARD® SR200 / SR300
RETRANSFER PRINTERS
Datacard Confidential 64
Retransfer printing uses a two-step process to provide
better image quality and durability than direct-to-card
print technology.
First, a dye sublimation printhead impresses a high-
resolution image onto a layer of retransfer film.
Next, the printer uses heat and pressure to transfer the
image to the card along with a clear protective layer.
• Retransfer printing allows issuers to print on a wider range of
heavy-duty and “greener” card substrates
• The print head never touches the card, significantly increasing
print head longevity
• The transfer film can be placed over virtually any type of card
surface, embedded with any kind of card technology
• Transfer film can be placed completely over the edge of the card.
Powerful Benefits of Retransfer Printing
Datacard Confidential 65
