Plastic cards are typically printed using a process called dye sublimation, where a design is transferred onto the card surface using heat and pressure. This involves printing the design onto a special transfer film, which is then placed onto the card and subjected to heat and pressure in a dye sublimation printer. The heat causes the ink on the transfer film to turn into a gas, which then permeates the surface of the plastic card, resulting in a durable and vibrant print.
Plastic cards are typically printed using a process called offset printing, where the design is transferred onto a metal plate and then onto the plastic surface using ink. The cards are first prepared by cleaning and treating the plastic to ensure proper ink adhesion. Then, the plate is set up on the printing press, and the ink is applied onto the plate and transferred onto the plastic cards. Finally, the cards go through a drying process to set the ink and are ready for further customization or distribution.
