The Entrust Artista CR805 Retransfer ID Card Printer is a premium desktop card issuance system designed to deliver exceptional image quality, enhanced durability, and superior security. Unlike traditional direct-to-card printers, the CR805 uses retransfer printing technology, which applies images to a retransfer film before bonding it to the card surface. This process produces vibrant, photo-like imagery with sharp details and extends card lifespan.
Ideal for government agencies, universities, corporations, and healthcare institutions, the CR805 ensures professional-grade results for applications that demand high-security credentials, long-lasting cards, and outstanding visual quality. With support for multiple card types—including smart cards, proximity cards, and high-durability composites—the CR805 offers unmatched versatility.
Its modular and upgradeable design makes it a future-ready investment, with optional features such as lamination, encoding, and advanced security modules. The Entrust Artista CR805 is the go-to choice for organizations that require premium ID card printing without compromise.
