Security: Full-featured PVC ID card printers for large ID badging operations

Representing the highest level of the printer market, IDenticard’s Security PVC card printers offer every feature a badging operation could ask for.

This retransfer printing means there will be no borders visible on a card printed on an Security machine. Depending on the model, additional features include wireless connectivity, laser engraving and more.
