DataCard RP90 User manual

HIGH-PERFORMANCE PRINTING
FOR HEAVY-DUTY APPLICATIONS
Heightened safety and security concerns are driving demand for photo IDs that
incorporate smart card technology and unconventional card materials. The
Datacard®RP90 Plus E card printer is specifically engineered to help government
agencies and other organizations meet these requirements easily and cost-effectively
with durable, high-quality cards.
• Exceptional durability. The RP90 Plus E card printer prints on retransfer film,
which is then applied to the card surface. This innovative technology offers a layer
of protection for printed information. It also allows you to print high-quality photo
IDs on a wide variety of card surfaces, including heavy-duty, non-PVC material
that offers significantly higher durability than traditional cards.
• Superior versatility. The RP90 Plus E card printer is ideal for issuing contact,
contactless, proximity or dual-interface smart cards. It prints right up to the edge
of the smart card chip or directly over embedded chips. Retransfer printing also
provides vivid, sharp results with full coverage for conventional photo IDs with
magnetic stripes and bar codes.
• High security. Enhance security and extend card life with the optional Datacard®
RL90 card laminator, which can apply Datacard®DuraGard®laminates and
topcoats. The Security Erase feature also helps block out black text on the used
YMCK ribbon to protect sensitive data from theft.
