SwiftPro Retransfer Printers
The SwiftPro Retransfer Printer range brings professional-grade card printing performance to organisations that demand high-quality, over the edge ID card production. Combining advanced retransfer printing technology with reliable build quality, SwiftPro printers deliver crisp text, vibrant colour output and exceptional durability, ideal for employee badges, access control cards, student IDs and secure credentials.
Advanced Retransfer Technology
SwiftPro retransfer printers use a two-stage printing process where the image is first printed onto a clear film and then thermally transferred to the card surface. This enables over the edge coverage, smooth colour transitions and sharp detail across the entire card, even on smart cards or cards with uneven surfaces. Retransfer printing also improves resistance to wear and ensures long-lasting results.
Whether you’re issuing a few hundred IDs or managing high-volume batch jobs, SwiftPro printers deliver professional quality with consistent results.
Powerful, Reliable & Flexible
The SwiftPro Retransfer range is designed for demanding environments and offers:
- Professional print quality: High resolution engines for sharp text and vibrant images.
- Wide card compatibility: Supports PVC, composite, smart and contactless cards.
- Flexible configurations: Choose from single or dual-sided models, with optional upgrades like encoders and extended hoppers.
- Modular upgrades: Add magnetic stripe, contact or contactless encoding to suit your workflow.
These capabilities make SwiftPro retransfer printers a smart choice for business, education, corporate security, healthcare and government card programmes.

Types of Consumables for the SwiftPro K65
The SwiftPro K65 supports a range of consumables for printing and maintenance. These include:
1. Colour Ribbons
-
YMCK: Full-colour retransfer ribbon with yellow, magenta, cyan and black panels, used to produce vibrant images and sharp text when combined with retransfer film.

YMCKK: Full-colour ribbon with dual black panels, ideal for cards requiring additional black printing on the back side such as fine text, barcodes or detailed monochrome elements.
-
YMCKP: Full-colour peel-off ribbon designed for cards with magnetic stripes or signature panels. The peel-off panel prevents retransfer film bonding in these areas, protecting functional card zones.

2. Monochrome Ribbons
-
Black Monochrome Ribbon: Black monochrome ribbon for printing text, barcodes, serial numbers and basic graphics on retransfer film.
3. Retransfer Film

Retransfer Film: Clear retransfer film used in retransfer printing to bond the printed image from the ribbon onto the card surface, enabling over the edge, high-definition card printing.
