Card Printing

In today's plastic card world, all kinds of cards with even more different applications need a more flexible and faster personalization system for card issuers and service bureaus. For many years, embossing was the only method for personalization, and is still used for credit cards today. We use thermotransfer color printing, inkjet printing and laser engraving for personalization of ID-cards, chip cards or contactless smart cards. We provide a powerful and flexible range of solutions for plastic card personalization.

Small in size, but big on functionality! The IC2000 takes up only as much space as the size of a sheet of standard A4 paper. The IC2000 is optimal for printing photos, logos, bar codes and any kind of font directly onto plastic cards. For quick decentralized card issuing, including image capturing, the IC2000 offers you all the flexibility you need, in color of course!

With 300-dpi. resolution in true color, the printout is near photo-quality. Windows-based software, including printer driver, makes it easy to use. Encoding, chip-contacting and automatic feeder are available as options.

The printer is able to print up to full card size (CR80) either in full color or only single color. The difference in the printing is only the ribbon material you use. In full color printing, the card passes up to five times the print head, by moving forward and backwards. (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, Overlay).

All the dye sublimation print (color) has to be covered by the transparent overlay to fix the colors on the card.

General Information
Ink/PlasticColors
411 standard ink colors are available. If you require a match of your color, but are unable to provide us with a PMS number, we will choose the closest shade available from our standard colors. Be aware that ink shades may vary when printed on colored plastic, and that shades of plastic may vary from shipment to shipment. A wide range of plastic material stock colors is available including, metallic copper, silver and gold.

Overruns/Underruns
We will do our best to ship the exact quantity ordered. Prices are based on a possible over- or under-shipment of 10%. You will be invoiced only for the exact count shipped.

Returns and Liabilities
Returns are subject to approval and must be within 5 days original receipt. Customer must notify WebPaymentCards.com before returning any order. We will replace any products that are defective or of substandard quality, as measured against our free sample or proof as approved by the customer.

Shipping Information
Please specify method of shipment desired. The majority of orders are shipped regular ground via United Parcel Service. UPS Next Day and Second Day are available for rush orders. If you prefer to ship via Federal Express, we will make the appropriate arrangements for overnight or economy service. All orders will be shipped to the destination specified on the invoice. Shipments become the property of the customer upon acceptance by the carrier. For completed orders that are particularly large, or that have been designated as rush, partial shipments may be requested. In these cases, the balance of the order will be shipped via regular UPS ground service. Parcels are shrink-wrapped and/or boxed according to the quantity and size of the product.

Foreign Shipments:
Please telephone 1-888-652-3737 or e-mail us for shipping information and charges. All shipping prices are based on US dollars and do not include tariffs, duties or brokerage fees.

Software Packages:
Artwork should be created in Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand or QuarkXPress. Macintosh or PC file types are supported. Extra charges apply for other software programs.

One Application: When possible, do all artwork design in one software application. Ex: If a logo is done with PhotoShop, it is preferable that type and layout pictures are also done with PhotoShop. Thus, all elements are kept "native." If this is not possible, include all support files (TIFF or EPS) with the final file.

File Formats:
Use only TIFF or EPS file formats when placing graphics. Color graphics should be converted from RGB to CMYK.

Disk Formats:
Submit all pertinent files on a floppy, CD-ROM or Zip Disk.

Fonts:
Send all fonts (printer and screen fonts) used in the file or convert larger/bolder type to paths in Freehand or Illustrator. Important: Use only Postscript fonts; True Type cannot be used.

Bleeds:
All bleeds, including placed graphics, should include 0.125" (3.18 mm) of overwork on all sides.

Paper Outputs:
Supply black-and-white laser output for each color, as well as a black-and-white laser composite of the file. Color composites (laser or dye-sublimation) are helpful if available.

Color Names:
Use consistent color names across applications and different files. If you call a color "Pantone 148 CV" in one place, you must use the exact name and spelling elsewhere so that the software does not interpret the slightly different name as a new color.

Define Colors:
Make sure spot colors are defined in the software as spot colors, not process colors. The same applies in reverse.
