Can you do sublimation transfer on a normal PVC card or does it have to be a "thermal" PVC card (used in Evolis or Fargo printer)?

What is special with these thermal PVC cards? Do they have special layer that purports sublimation transfer?

Thanks, v

  • Hi. Welcome to GDSE. Hardware questions are generally off-topic here. You should check in your printers' user manual, or contact the printer manufacturer to find out which stock you can use with your printer.

Sublimation printing typically requires specialized materials that are designed to accept and permanently bond with sublimation inks. When it comes to PVC cards, standard PVC is not designed for dye-sublimation and will likely not produce the results you're looking for. Hope that helps. Although I have used a fargo ribbon printer to print directly onto PVC.
