The Artista® CR805 Retransfer Printer
provides stunning color with the speed,
security features, and durability you need
to create virtually any type of card on
demand – right from your desktop.
• Superior image quality
• Module options including
Lamination, Tactile Impression
(TIM), and Multi-Hopper
• Issuance security architecture
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Get a high-end look for every
card design
• 600-dpi resolution retransfer
printing provides precise,
photo-quality imagery as well as
microtext, bar codes, and other
machine-readable elements
• Pigment ink prints lifelike skin
tones so you can more accurately
authenticate each cardholder to
improve security
• Over-the-edge printing with
retransfer technology allows you
to print on multiple card types,
including cards with built-in
technology (e.g. EMV chips)
• Retransfer printing allows you to
print the entire card design on
demand, eliminating the need for
pre-printed card stock. Retransfer
printing allows you to print the entire
card design on demand, eliminating
the need for pre-printed card stock.
High performance and reliability
• Optimized printhead and dual-cam
design minimizes print variations and
ensures consistent outputs
• Quick warm-up for faster first card
and overall print speed
• Cleaning cycle cadence at each
ribbon swap ensures consistent
operation
• Cleaning tool included with every
printer ensures easy and repeatable
printhead cleaning
Issue more durable cards and
save on replacement costs
• Pigment ink is resistant to UV fading
for longer-lasting images
• Retransfer film adds a layer of
durability; apply two layers for
additional protection
• Optional inline lamination module
provides enhanced durability
• Primerless ribbons have a unique
pigment ribbon formation that
does not require a primer panel,
enabling faster print speeds of 110
cards per hour
• The combination of primerless
ribbon and retransfer film improves
card durability with up to 50% more
adhesion and abrasion resistance
• Primerless ribbons offer cost savings
as a value-priced solution over
primer supply options
Unmatched security
• UV printing and other security
features added to the cards protect
from tampering and counterfeiting
• Optional locks protect card stock
and supplies
• Secure Boot cryptographically
authenticates firmware, preventing
printer operation if unauthorized
modifications are detected
• Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
secures a factory-installed Entrust-
backed TLS certificate
• Network communication in
accordance with NIST SP 800-52
Rev. 2 recommendations when
using TLS 1.2 or 1.3 with strong
cryptographic protocols*
• Zero Trust network support using
RADIUS-enabled IEEE 802.1x
password or certificate-based
authentication*
*These security features require a properly
configured printer with R4.12.2/R4.52.2
or newer firmware.
