Description
ID badges, membership cards, and employee credentials all need the same thing: a printer that produces a clean, durable card every time without a lot of hands-on fuss. The HiTi CS-220e Single-Sided Card Printer Bundle pairs the CS-220e dye-sublimation card printer with a matched set of genuine HiTi ribbon and blank CR-80 cards, so you can print your first batch of cards the day it arrives.
The CS-220e is one of the few card printers on the market built to print on fully transparent cards in addition to standard PVC stock, and it can be expanded later with a Flipper module for two-sided printing or with encoding modules for smart-card, RFID, or magnetic-stripe credentials.
As an authorized HiTi dealer since 2010, with roots in professional photo printing going back to 1996, we supply genuine HiTi printers and consumables — which matters here, since HiTi's own documentation is explicit that non-genuine ribbon can void your printer's warranty.

Genuine HiTi Ribbon Required
HiTi's own documentation for the CS-220e states that using non-genuine ribbon can void the printer's manufacturer warranty and risks damage to the print head. This bundle ships with genuine HiTi YMCKO ribbon so the printer is covered and ready to run correctly from the first card.
HiTi CS-220e Technical Specifications
Who This Bundle Is Built For
- Small to mid-sized organizations issuing employee, member, or student ID badges in-house
- Businesses needing transparent-card printing, such as event access badges or overlay credentials
- Organizations planning to add encoding later, such as access-control or membership cards with RFID or magnetic stripe
Why Use Genuine HiTi OEM Ribbon
HiTi's own documentation for the CS card printer line is direct about this: genuine HiTi ribbon is formulated and packaged to work correctly with the print head, and using non-original consumables voids the manufacturer's warranty. Genuine ribbon also keeps color and yield consistent card after card, which matters most when you're printing batches of employee or member IDs that need to look uniform. Buying the bundle with matched genuine ribbon and cards from an authorized dealer is the simplest way to start with full warranty coverage intact.
