Desktop Card Printers

Desktop card printers apply personalization to plastic cards. Personalization includes printing,

encoding magnetic stripe data, and reading or programming smart cards. Some printers also

have one or two laminators, which apply a protective layer to cards.

A desktop card printer is a self-contained unit that receives data from a PC (or other computer),

personalizes the card using the data, and ejects the card. Desktop card printers have one or two

cards in them at a time, and are designed to issue cards where the user is, called on-demand

printing or instant issuance.
