Whois & Analysis for evolis.com

A card printer is an electronic desktop printer with single card feeders which print and personalize plastic cards.

In this respect they differ from, for example, label printers which have a continuous supply feed.

Card dimensions are usually 85.60 × 53.98 mm, standardized under ISO/IEC 7810 as ID-1.

This format is also used in EC-cards, telephone cards, European Union driver's licenses and health insurance cards.

This is commonly known as the bank card format.

Card printers are controlled by corresponding printer drivers or by means of a specific programming language.

Generally card printers are designed with laminating, striping, and punching functions, and use desktop or web-based software.

The hardware features of a card printer differentiate a card printer from the more traditional printers, as ID cards are usually made of PVC plastic and require laminating and punching.

Different card printers can accept different card thickness and dimensions.

Plastic is a material consisting of any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that are malleable and can be molded into solid objects.

Plastics are typically organic polymers of high molecular mass, but they often contain other substances.

They are usually synthetic, most commonly derived from petrochemicals, but many are made from renewable materials such as polylactic acid from corn or cellulosics from cotton linters.

Plasticity is the general property of all materials that are able to irreversibly deform without breaking, but this occurs to such a degree with this class of moldable polymers that their name is an emphasis on this ability.

In computing, a printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human-readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media.
