The ink turns to a gas and under pressure this gas permeates a plastic card surface layer, in effect staining it the color of the ink.

Artwork Specifications
-
Card Size, Artwork, and Format
The majority of cards are offset printed in large sheets before lamination and punching. Card printing services need a 2mm bleed, and all-important, non-bleed information should be 2-3mm from the edge of the card to cover for movement when punching. Card printing services are used in a digital print method. These don’t require any artwork bleed, as cards are printed after punching of the base stock. Formats can accept pretty well all file types, but for best results we prefer artwork to be supplied in vector format, saved as PDF or native files such as .ai or .eps.
-
Vector files
There are two types of basic files such as bitmap and vector. True vector images are pretty well only applicable for drawn logos and text, as it is a mathematical calculation relating to the relative size and shape of the components. Card printing are cannot easily produce a mathematical formula to describe a detailed picture of a face or a nice landscape, so we need to break it up into pixels and assign a color for each.
-
Bitmap files
Bitmap files are pixel-based, so resolution and size are becoming important factors. The more pixels crammed into a square inch of image (dpi), the better the resolution and the crisper the picture looks. The benchmark resolution for printing is 300dpi. Anything higher than this is good, but from a practical point of view, you will see little if any difference in the end product without using a magnifying glass. Besides, most printers will not be able to get detail much better than 300dpi due to the nature of the machinery.

File types
We are often getting supplied PDF files that do not contain any vector images. For example, saving a jpeg logo as a PDF will not magically convert it to a shape. Remember, you cannot convert a bitmap file to a vector file. If you have a PDF and you zoom in, you can soon see if the text and logos are shapes. If everything is pixilated, the printing results may not be so good. Many programs enable you to produce vector files. Card printing services are used Adobe Illustrator, from which they have produced EPS or PDF files. Photoshop does have some vector capabilities, but it is quite messy. As a general rule is used Photoshop for pixel-based work only.
