Printers and options

Your equipment determines what the editor offers

Available features depend on the printer model and installed options, such as a duplex unit, magnetic encoder, contactless encoder or laminator.

CR80 shows the features documented and verified for the selected printer.

1

Choose the printer model

The model profile defines resolution, card sides, panels and documented limits.

2

Confirm installed modules

Encoders, duplex units and laminators must be installed before they can be used.

3

Check ribbons and cards

Base cards, ribbons and laminates must match the job before production.

Pair CR80 Print Station

CR80 Print Station runs on a computer on the same network as the printer and manages the print queue.

How card design works in CR80

What kinds of cards can I design?

Create staff ID cards, membership cards and visitor badges with text, photos, a logo and codes. The CR80 format measures 85.6 × 53.98 mm, the size of a standard bank card. Work in portrait or landscape and design both sides.

Try the card editor

Can I personalise a batch using one design?

Yes. Import a data list and connect design fields to names, membership numbers and other details. Browse the records and preview each card before printing. Reuse the design when new people join.

Design and personalisation for in-house printing

Do I need my own card printer?

You can design without a printer and then choose a connected printing partner. For in-house printing, use CR80 Print Station with a supported card printer. Check your exact model and its installed options in the printer directory.

Check your card printer

Can we embed the card editor on our website?

Yes. Printing partners can embed the editor and connect their catalogue and order workflow. The developer guide covers the integration and APIs for transferring designs and rendering PDFs and images.
