The CS-320 ID Double-Sided Card Printer from HiTi Digital, Inc. is a color dye sublimation and monochrome thermal transfer printer which is easily operated to produce high-quality single- and double-sided ID cards.
It has a lever to easily select between media of different thicknesses which you may require to print membership cards, student, corporate and security photo ID cards. The CS-320 incorporates color performance technology allowing accurate color reproduction for true-to-life skin tones, backgrounds and text. The color dye sublimation process uses ribbons instead of ink which results in up to 16.7 million continuous, rich colors. In the final step of the dye-sub process a clear film overcoat is applied, rendering your cards scratch-, fade- and water-resistant.
The HiTi CS-320 comes with the highly productive CardDésirée CS software which provides the necessary tools (for example, templates, and batch printing management) necessary to create professional ID cards which stand out from others with unique layouts and bar coding. The CS-320 also comes with an embedded module to encode contact smart cards.

Comments about HiTi CS-320 Card Printer - Double-Sided (US/CA Version):
[...] It did not include cards or ink so I had to buy those separately. The cards I did not buy from the manufacturer as I could not find them on sale.
