18 cents for a card better than most thermal cards!

18 cents for a card better than most thermal cards!
These cards are amazing and super vibrant, and you can print pretty tiny barcodes on them with no issues. I have gotten so many lame, blurry thermal PVC cards printed on-site at various places, this system blows them out of the water at a fraction of the price. The only difference between these and thermal PVC (besides the print time) is that they're a little tacky, almost like they have been slightly rubberized. But if you pop them in a plastic ID card holder on a lanyard or a clip, it is impossible to tell the difference. And they are so cheap, if you screw up a print, who cares? In addition to actual company IDs, I print cards for friends just for fun, too, and everyone I've given them too has been impressed. I don't tell them I printed them with a less-than-$100 investment...A few extra tips are in order for those who have not used inkjet PVC before. First, you'll need a Brainstorm tray, which should be around $20. If you don't have a compatible printer, the Canon TS8120 works great, is compatible with the "M" tray, and is pretty cheap at $55 right now. Unless you really need a fancier printer for some reason, there is no point in getting anything more expensive. I'm not an inkjet guy so this printer is exclusively for cards.Second, CALIBRATE! Download the templates and enable the calibration layer, then print and adjust your printable safe zone boundary lines. Save the template and that way you won't have any issues with bad alignment. You can afford blowing 36 cents on properly calibrating your template.Third, do not be afraid of "full bleed" printing. That is the term for printing beyond the boundaries. Make a 2.25" x 3.5" image and center it on the printable area. The edges will print onto the tray itself, but the printer will print right to the edge of the cards, too. Once you (carefully) remove the card (use the holes in the back and poke it out), clean the ink off the edges on the tray with some paper towels, preferably slightly moistened. I use lens cleaning wipes when I'm completely finished just to be safe... just make sure you clean your glasses BEFORE you clean the tray. You could use any moistened towelette of your choice, I just have a giant box of them myself.Fourth, give them a minute or so to dry. I haven't experimented with mushing my fingers all over them fresh out of the printer, but once I remove them a minute or so later, I have not seen any smearing at all.Finally, you may want to use the clearcoat method to eliminate the tacky texture that Christopher A. mentioned in his review. It helped on one card I tried it on, but I use plastic ID card holders anyway, so it's not worth the effort in my case. But the cards really do not "pass" without that coating. I looked for hologram stickers to place on top of the cards, but none I found were big enough, so just stick with the clearcoat. It will also obviously help with durability.

I used these to make novelty ID cards and they work great. I've included some pictures so you can see the quality.
These are also waterproof and and printable on both sides which is a great addition.
I used these with the Canon J Tray from Brainstorm ID.
