As experts in event and accreditation solutions we feel the Swiftcolor SCC-4000D is a great solution for events looking to produce badges and passes onsite. This is primarily due to the fact it can print high quality and in full colour. Furthermore, you can increase card security by using holograms, UV hot stamp and including UHF encoding.
Is the Swiftcolor Oversized ID card printer single or double sided print?
The Swiftcolor SCC-4000 is a single side print card printer. If you require dual side you will need to run the card through the printer for a second pass.
Does the Swiftcolor Oversized Card printer print over-the-edge?
The same as any inkjet printer the Swiftcolor SCC-4000D can not print over the edge. Therefore you will end up with a slight white border.
