DATACARD CR805 RETRANSFER ID CARD PRINTER (SINGLE-SIDED) [P-DC-CR805S]

Print Quality

The Datacard CR805 uses Pigment Ink Technology. This allows for long-lasting, UV-fade resistant ID cards that won't diminish over time. It also helps to extend the card life and reduces the cost for reprints. Opting for this printer means you are guaranteed vibrant colour cards that print right over the edge meaning no white borders on show.

Reliability

The CR805 is one of the most reliable card printers on the current market and is a popular choice for our education customers. If an issue arises with the printer, you are backed by Datacards 30-month standard warranty cover on both the printer and printhead.

Ease of Use

Everyday tasks such as the installation of the printer driver, upgrades, ribbon changes and printer could not be easier. If you also need to train other staff members on how to use the machine, then this again is not an issue, and you will soon become an expert.

Ease of Setup

Once you receive your new printer, simply unbox, connect and follow the simple instructions, and you are ready to go. If you do run into difficulty, then our dedicated Datacard support team are on hand to answer any questions you may have. 

Security

Security is well thought out with the CR805 card printer. As the images last longer, you can more accurately authenticate each cardholder. As well as this, there optional locks to help safeguard against unauthorised printer use, a TPM module included in every printer and the secure boot prevents system start-up at any indication of malware. With the option on lamination, this also protects the cards for longer.

Encoding

With the CR805, there is the option to add on Magnetic stripe encoding or Contactless / MIFARE Encoder upgrade. 
Other options include:
ISO 7811 three-track option (high- and low-coercivity).
JIS Type II single-track option.
Support for standard and custom data formats.

Printer Type

The CR805 is a retransfer printer. Retransfer printing technology is different to DTC as it uses two ribbon types, a colour ink ribbon and a separate retransfer film. Step 1 of the process involves the printer using the colour ink ribbon to print your image directly on the retransfer film, and then a heat roller to transfer the image over the entire surface of a card leaving no white borders giving the card a more professional look. The application of the retransfer film to the card provides a bonus layer of protection and a glossy photo-like finish, which helps extend card life meaning your costs are kept down as re-issuance becomes a thing of the past. 

Card Types

The CR805 accepts CR80 credit-card sized cards.

Print Volume

The CR805 is set up to manage smaller to medium print volumes and in a standard working week totalling 35 hours you can print 3,500 single-sided (CMYKP) cards or 2,310 double-sided (CMYKP-KP) cards, all in exceptional quality.
