What are Laser/Dry Toner Compatible Cards?
Laser/dry toner printers use a dry powder called toner to create images on paper. Laser/dry toner compatible cards are specifically designed to work with these types of printers. They are suited to withstand the heat and pressure of the fusing process in laser printers, ensuring that the toner adheres properly to the surface. It is important to use your printers settings designed for printing on heavy paper, labels, or synthetics. This will help to assure proper fusing of the toner to the laminate or synthetic cards.
What are Inkjet Compatible Cards?
In contrast, inkjet printers use liquid ink to produce images on paper. Inkjet compatible cards are optimized for use with inkjet printers, allowing the ink to be absorbed without smudging or smearing. Our inkjet compatible cards use a special universal coating to absorb the ink effectively without smudging.
