 Rewritable Technology
Rewriting is possible due to a special rewritable card stock that features a
layer of heat-sensitive material which overlays a conventional PVC
substrate.

Embedded within the heat-sensitive layer are unique dye and developer that
chemically bond when heated to a specific temperature and rapidly cooled.

 Rewritable Printing

Datacard Confidential 11
 Rewritable Printing Technology

• Printing is the function of the rewritable card and

printhead via heat
• The printer ribbon is removed for printing on the
rewritable card
• Other SP/CP series printers cannot be configured to
use rewritable cards by removing the ribbon
• Datacard offers rewritable cards
• Rewritable cards are more expensive initially, they
can be reused up to 500 times which will result in a
lower cost per card

Datacard Confidential 12
 Uses for Rewritable Technology
Retail
• Beauty salons and other shops that take appointments can issue
rewritable appointment cards for clients.
Entertainment
• Lottery tickets, gaming cards
• Tickets for concerts and sporting events
• Membership cards for health clubs
Corporate ID
• Temporary and visitor IDs that include a name and photo, yet can be
returned at the end of the visit and easily reused for a different visitor.
Education
• Schools, colleges and universities can print a student’s photo and
demographics on a fully rewritable ID, or print a photo on the PVC side
and use the rewritable side to print a class schedule or school events
calendar.

DATACARD® SR200 / SR300
RETRANSFER PRINTERS

Datacard Confidential
 Powerful Benefits of Retransfer Printing
Retransfer printing uses a two-step process to provide
better image quality and durability than direct-to-card
print technology.

First, a dye sublimation printhead impresses a high-

resolution image onto a layer of retransfer film.

Next, the printer uses heat and pressure to transfer the

image to the card along with a clear protective layer.
• Retransfer printing allows issuers to print on a wider range of
heavy-duty and “greener” card substrates
• The print head never touches the card, significantly increasing
print head longevity
• The transfer film can be placed over virtually any type of card
surface, embedded with any kind of card technology
• Transfer film can be placed completely over the edge of the card.

Datacard Confidential 64
