· Thermo-re-write is a printing and erasing technology, where thermal energy is applied
· onto a specific foil on the card to generate and erase printings. A TRW card
· is a conventional plastic card made of PVC or PET, which is laminated with a special
· TRW foil. The foil is a chemical based film, which reacts to heat. The foil
· is laminated onto the card by heat and pressure (hot lamination process) in course
· of the card production. The foil can be laminated onto PVC as well as PET
· cards. Paper tickets can be coated with a special thermal layer, for one-time printing.
· All types of cards can be laminated with the foil. The actual size of the
· rewritable area on the card can be adapted according to the specific requirements
· of the application. TRW cards can be reprinted / erased up to 500 times. Because
· the TRW foil is transparent, the cards can be pre-printed in color before lamination,
· without any loss of color printing quality.
