What are ISO Printable Cards?
ISO Printable Cards are smart cards that work on low frequency technology approximately 125 kHz. For printing output, they are made with white printable surface which is glossy and provides high quality results. ISO Printable Cards are designed in compliance with ISO standards for smart cards and generally they come with a lifetime warranty. The ISO printable cards comprises of magnetic stripe technology, proximity card technology and also provides with additional feature of photo identification on a single card.

Features and Characteristics of ISO printable cards
These pre-programmed cards are designed to have universal compatibility and are easily read by standard proximity readers. The graphical surface of the ISO printable card works directly with image ID printers. Generally companies manufacturing ISO printable cards provides lifetime warranty to its customers for any material or working defect and service warranty. ISO printable cards are designed with its one side as plain white so that these cards can be later customized for unique photo ids. For better durability and extended life period, ISO printable cards are design with PVC composite construction. These cards can be punched in both the ways either vertically or horizontally. ISO Printable Cards reading range is dependent on the proximity card reader and in the environment it is installed. ISO printable cards are smart cards that adhere to the standard and compliances of ISO 7816 set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

ISO Compliances for Smart Cards
All smart cards, proximity cards, HID Proximity Cards, kantech proximity cards, AWID proximity cards, indala proximity card, printable cards, proximity key fobs, Proximity key tag, etc. are designed in such a way that they adhere to the compliances set by the organization International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ISO compliance governs the standards for these cards which includes various parameters such as physical attributes, communication features, application identifiers for the fitted microchip and data.

Advantage of ISO printable cards
ISO printable cards works on low frequency range and has a better readability performance. The ISO printable cards are generally used for automation management such as access control system, automated parking management, attendance monitoring, etc. ISO printable cards have faster transaction ability, faster scanning, and are designed to provide the benefit of greater reading distance. As these ISO printable cards are compose of PVC construction material, hence they can face harsh environment. While customizing cards using the technology of Re-Transfer Printers that by applying pressure and heat, fuse the images to the card surface, requires composite cards as they can withstand high temperature and pressure. And thus for customization, ISO printable cards are used as they are made up of composite surface and can withstand higher temperatures and pressure. Moreover these cards are easy to use and place as they have same thickness and size as of debit or credit cards.
