product guides - helping you through the jargon
Edge-to-edge versus over-the-edge printers. Which wold best suit you?
It’s important to understand the differences between an edge-to-edge printer and over-the-edge machine, before you invest in a plastic card printer. The simplest difference is that an edge-to-edge printer leaves a plain border on the card, whilst an over-the-edge printer leaves no border at all. The appearance of your card’s border is a key consideration but there are many more variables than this.
