    Hello, I have a the following question: We have to develop a website on which the client will be able to create,edit and print his own cards. So for that idea we will need a good photo printer, which can print also relief cards.Can you please recommend me a good model for that job ? Thank you in advance.

    How many prints per day do you anticipate doing?

    On what material do you need to print?

    I need a printer that can print on mate,glossy and so on. Is there printers that print cards with relief? I do not know how many jobs will print per day that machine, it depends from how many the visitors will enter.

    I dont know any printers that can print a relief image.

    You with need an offset machine with a thermo unit.

    Regards.

    The quantity you expect to print (and the quality you demand from the finished product) will determine whether an Imagepress C1 at $50,000 and $0.15 a print or a Xante Illumina at $9,000 and $0.60 a print is the right fit for you (or something bigger or even smaller.)
