DataCard RP90, RP90 PLUS E, RL90 Brochure & Specs

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.
