Crimes by impersonation and fake identity have become a common sight to see and news to hear these days. This necessitates the importance of identity cards for every person. These days most employers to include software industries, banks, and even hospitals insist on photo identity plastic cards for their employees. These cards would contain important details about the person including name, age, sex, employment details, and blood group. Companies have made it strict for the employers to carry and swipe the entry card to make their presence in the attendance data. Not only identification cards but also almost everything in our life has been simplified to plastic cards for example ATM cards, membership cards, restaurant cards.
Printers used for printing cards are called card printers. These printers are different from paper printers in terms of ink, paper and the lamination used. They have different printers employed for different kinds of cards using different techniques. The card printers use a stock of cards as a base to print the cards. They can print cards with full color using CMYK that is cyan, magenta, yellow and black four-color printing process and without full color photographs by using spot colors on the sheet fed by offset printing. Card printers use a technology called thermograph to get the raised effect on the cards. This is usually seen on ATM cards, membership cards and less likely on an identification card. This is relatively a cheap process using a plastic powder, which adheres to the wet ink. The card printers also give the cards a gloss finish done by UV glossy coating or other aqueous coating. This helps in speeding the process of manufacturing preventing the ink from one side of the card to offset on the back of the other card.
