In recent years, the demand for ID and credit cards with high-resolution photos has grown along side with the
need to ensure security. Compact, simple card printers capable of printing quickly on location are widely used,
particularly in companies and retail locations that use ID cards with photos for employee and customer
management. In recent years, the demand for such cards is growing not only in Japan, the U.S. and Europe,
but also in China and India. Under these circumstances, Kyocera’s thermal printheads featuring high-speed
and high-resolution advantages are indispensable components to achieve convenient, fast, and high-resolution card printers.
Features Real edge printheads, which are capable of printing without bending the media, are used to print onto cards made of rigid materials such as plastic. Kyocera has applied its proprietary double partial glaze (DPG) structure for the first time to the KLE Series to create a printhead capable of high-speed and high- resolution printing. |
