BRAVO CX7000 300 dpi Duplex Retransfer Printer (CX-7000-2NEM)

The BRAVO CX7000 300 dpi Duplex Retransfer Printer (CX-7000-2NEM) is a professional ID card printer designed for high-quality, edge-to-edge printing of secure identification cards. It uses YMC dye-sublimation and K resin retransfer technology to produce detailed colour cards, while its duplex configuration allows printing on both sides of the card. With 300 dpi resolution, USB 2.0 and Ethernet connectivity, a 100-card input capacity and support for optional magnetic and smart card encoding, the BRAVO CX7000 is suitable for employee IDs, student cards, access cards, membership cards and other professional card-issuance applications.

Product Features

300 dpi High-Resolution Printing

The BRAVO CX7000 provides 300 dpi print resolution, producing detailed text, photographs, logos, barcodes and other card graphics. The resolution is suitable for professional identification cards where clear reproduction of cardholder information is important.

Duplex Retransfer Printing

The CX7000 supports duplex printing, allowing the front and back of a card to be personalized. Retransfer printing transfers the printed image from film onto the card surface, supporting full-card coverage and reducing the unprinted edge commonly associated with conventional direct-to-card printing.

Edge-to-Edge Full-Bleed Printing

The printer supports edge-to-edge, over-the-edge and full-bleed printing across the card surface. This makes it possible to create professional card designs with backgrounds, photographs and graphics extending across the printable area.

YMC Dye-Sublimation and K Resin Retransfer

The CX7000 combines YMC dye-sublimation for colour imaging with K resin retransfer for black elements such as text and other card information. This printing method is designed for producing high-quality plastic credentials.

36-Second Card Printing

The BRAVO CX7000 has a stated printing speed of approximately 36 seconds per card, with published specifications also indicating approximately 120 cards per hour for YMCK single-sided printing. Actual throughput can vary depending on card design, data transfer and encoding operations.

100-Card Input Capacity

The printer features a 100-card input stacker, allowing multiple cards to be loaded for batch production rather than manually feeding every card.

USB and Ethernet Connectivity

USB 2.0 High-Speed and Ethernet connectivity allow the printer to operate as a directly connected workstation printer or as part of a networked card-issuance environment. IPv6 support is also specified for the Ethernet interface.

Optional Smart Card Encoding

The CX7000 can be configured with optional contact and contactless smart card encoding capabilities. This allows the printer to be incorporated into card issuance workflows where printed identification and electronic card data are combined.

Optional Magnetic Stripe Encoding

An optional magnetic encoder can be installed for compatible magnetic-stripe cards, providing additional card personalization capabilities for suitable applications.

Security Features

The CX7000 platform includes security-oriented options such as IPsec, security erase functionality and physical security features for the printer and consumables. Optional UV printing can also be configured for applications requiring additional security features.

Optional Card Lamination

The CX7000 can be configured with compatible Bravo lamination units, including single- and dual-sided lamination options. This provides an upgrade path for organizations that require additional card protection and finishing.
