Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between dye sublimation and thermal transfer printing?
The CS-200e uses dye sublimation (direct-to-card) technology, which produces photo-quality continuous tone images by heating dye ribbons to transfer color directly onto the card surface. This method delivers superior image quality compared to standard thermal transfer, making it ideal for photo ID cards and badges with smooth color gradients.
What types of smart cards can the CS-200e encode?
With optional encoding modules, the CS-200e supports contact smart IC cards, contactless RFID cards (ISO14443A/B, ISO15693), and magnetic stripe cards (ISO7811 Hi-co & Low-co). This versatility allows integration with various access control, time attendance, and payment systems.
How many cards can the printer produce per ribbon?
Print capacity varies by ribbon type: YMCKO (full color) yields 400 prints, 1/2 panel YMCKO yields 560 prints, YMCKOK yields 330 prints, KO yields 500 prints, and resin black yields 1000 prints. The 1/2 panel YMCKO is cost-effective for cards with color photos but monochrome text areas.
Can the printer handle non-standard card materials?
The CS-200e accepts PVC or polyester cards with polished PVC finish, with thickness ranging from 0.25mm to 1.00mm (10-40 mil). For best results, use standard CR-80 size cards (53.98 × 85.6 mm). Special card materials may require testing — contact us for compatibility verification.
Is the CS-200e compatible with Mac computers?
Yes, the CS-200e supports Mac OS X 10.6 and above. However, the bundled CardDesiree CS software is Windows-based only. Mac users may need to use alternative card design software or print through a Windows virtual machine. The printer driver supports both Windows and Mac operating systems.
