Resin
Thermal
Transfer
Resin Thermal Transfer is the print method the Printer uses to print sharp
black text and crisp bar codes that can be read by both infrared and visible-
light bar code scanners.
Like Dye-Sublimation, this process uses the same thermal Printhead to
transfer color to a card from a resin-only print Ribbon or the resin black (K)
panel of a full color print Ribbon.
The difference, however, is that solid dots of resin-based ink are
transferred and fused to the surface of the card. (Note: This produces very
durable, saturated printing.)
