Persona C30 Color Plastic Card Printer
The incredibly easy way to produce secure, high-quality color plastic ID cards. The optional dual-sided C30 prints both sides of a card in one pass. Saves time and reduces card handling.
Persona C30 Color ID Card Printer
Features Optional dual-sided printing makes personalizing both card sides quick and efficient. Cards are flipped inside the ID badge printer so both sides are printed in one pass. Reduces card handling hassles; when a card drops into the output hopper, it's done.
Easy-loading, all-in-one ribbon cartridge saves time and eliminates the expense (and mess) of torn, wasted ribbons from this ID card printer. Simply open the front panel of the C30 plastic card printer, slide in the ribbon cartridge, close the panel and you're done. There's nothing to feed, nothing to fumble with and nothing to tear.
Integrated card cleaning roller
Helps maintain print quality while protecting the printhead of your C30 ID card printer. It automatically removes potentially damaging dust and debris from each card before it's printed. The cleaning roller of the C30 plastic card printer is ingeniously integrated into the all-in-one ribbon cartridge, so you never have to mess with changing a separate cleaning roller or ribbon.
Direct-to-card printing
Dye-sublimation/resin thermal transfer technology prints sharp, clear images directly onto the surface of the plastic ID card. Dye-sublimation printing produces smooth, continuous-tone images that look truly photographic in more than 16.7 million colors. Resin thermal transfer uses a single-color ribbon to print sharp black text and crisp bar codes that can be read by infrared and visible-light scanners.
Simple plug-and print operation makes Persona C30 Color ID Card Printers as easy to use as a regular office printer.
Includes Build-A-Badge software. Entry-level, user-friendly application for designing and printing photo ID cards.
