The Evolis Avansia AV1HB000BD is a dual-sided retransfer card printer for high-security, premium-quality cards: corporate and government ID, access-control and smart cards, university and membership cards. The image is printed at 600 dpi onto a transparent film and then fused onto the card, for true over-the-edge results – even on uneven surfaces such as chip or proximity cards and on PVC, PET, polycarbonate and ABS. It takes 250 cards per batch, prints up to 144 cards per hour and connects via USB and Ethernet. This version has a factory-fitted ISO magnetic stripe encoder (HiCo/LoCo, 3 tracks).
