Direct to Card Printers
Direct-to-card (DTC) printers use dye-sublimation to print colour directly onto the card surface. They're the most common type of ID card printer — fast, affordable, and perfectly suited to most Irish businesses printing staff IDs, membership cards, or visitor passes.
The trade-off is a thin white border around the card edge. If you need true edge-to-edge printing, you'll want a retransfer printer instead. But for the vast majority of card printing, DTC is the right call. Browse our printer ribbons and printer bundles.
