Dyestar Premium Silver: 760 Micron Cards with Coloured Core (Pack of 100)

The Dyestar C-A7-SI is a high-specification PVC card featuring a sophisticated metallic silver finish. Unlike budget silver cards that are merely surface-tinted, these cards are manufactured with a solid coloured core. This ensures that the silver pigment is consistent throughout the entire card body, maintaining a seamless, professional appearance even if the card edges become worn over time or through frequent use in swipe-readers.

Key Product Highlights

• Solid Coloured Core: Eliminates the unsightly "white edge" associated with standard printed cards, providing a premium, high-end look across the entire profile.

• Metallic Silver Finish: A striking, professional silver surface that offers a distinctive background for membership, VIP, and loyalty branding.

• Standard CR80 Size: Manufactured to 85.60mm x 53.98mm, ensuring perfect compatibility with all standard UK wallets, badge reels, and cardholders.

• Graphics-Grade PVC: Features a smooth, flat surface specifically engineered for high-definition printing and to protect the delicate printheads of ID card printers

Printing Advice for Silver Cards

The Dyestar C-A7-SI is compatible with all leading ID card printers, including Magicard, Zebra, and Evolis. To achieve the most professional finish, we recommend:

1. Monochrome Printing: For the highest contrast and clarity, use a black resin ribbon. This creates a sharp, professional look that is highly legible.

2. Metallic-on-Metallic: For an ultra-premium "tonal" look, these cards can be printed with silver or gold monochrome ribbons, often used for luxury branding where high contrast is less critical than the aesthetic.

3. Full-Colour Overprinting: While standard colour (YMCKO) ribbons can be used, be aware that the metallic silver base will shine through the translucent inks, creating a unique metallic-sheen effect on photos and logos.
