Hello everyone and welcome  to
Abhishek Products by S.K.

Graphics, I am  Abhishek Jain
and today we will talk about

what  is the difference between
the laser card and AP film

first,  understand what is a
laser card is if you have  a

laser printer that runs on toner

Such  as Konica Minolta, Xerox
or Canon Color Xerox  machine

and if you want to make an ID
card inside  it, then you will

use a rubber sheet which is  drawn
like rubber but if you have an

inkjet  printer then you will
use AP film.

Which is a  low-cost solution to
make a high-cost product  in

which your margins are good,
both methods have  their own

advantages, but we need to know
which  product do we have to use in

which situation so that we  can
use our

If we can provide a  better
service to the customer, then

we will  understand the first
three scenarios here, we  will

talk about a shopkeeper who
already has a  laser printer and

wants to make an ID card.  for
that customer rubber sheet is a

good  option

which works in every laser
printer like,  work centre,

Konica, Xerox, Rico or  Canon
printer, if you have a laser

printer  because you have made a
big investment then you do  not

need another investment and you
only need a  rubber sheet

Take a rubber sheet that comes
in  the 12×18 size and take a

hot lamination machine, take  a
die cutter machine, rotary

cutter, make an ID  card and do
all the work, your cost will  be

another scenario, we will talk

about  such a shopkeeper.

whose budget is a little  less,
the space is a little less and

the demand  in the market is
little less and he has only  one

inkjet printer or he just wants
to take a  single inkjet printer

and does not want to make  any
big investment, for  those

customer

we will  suggest

AP film, with AP film you can
make good  quality, dark prints

and you will get good options  to
make an ID card, which looks

something like  this

Both options are very good, in
both cases,  in the case of AP

film, your cost comes within  7
to 8 rupees, if you make more

quantity of  making an ID card,
then the cost will come down

further.

Let’s  say a shopkeeper who also
has a laser printer and  an

inkjet printer

So for such a  shopkeeper, we
would suggest that you do all

the  work of your retail
customers in the inkjet  printer

and if you have a bulk order do
it in the  laser because there

is a lot of speed inside  the
laser.

If you want to make a thousand
cards,  then you can do all the

work in ten minutes, but  the
same is that if you want to

make 1000 cards  in inkjet
printer then, you give one or

two hours  to the printer
because it will print its  work

slowly.

But we also need to  understand
what to do with colour

combinations or  colour
differences?

For this, I will show you  a
demonstration

Look at me  here.

I have printed this on the
rubber sheet and  I have printed

this on top of the AP film and
on  the laser printer card the

colour is little light  because
we used a rubber sheet

If we use plain  paper, then
print comes dark on it too, but

we  need a strong PVC material
to make the ID card, which

bonds  with lamination and does
not open easily when folded  or

even immersed in water.

such quality  is in the rubber
sheet, these laser media and

the  same quality is inside the AP
film inside luckily we get  dark

print in AP film, but when we
use rubber  sheet

little light print comes, there
is nothing  to worry about, for

many years we have been  using
rubber sheets only, using ID

card to make  an ID card, but AP
film had come recently two  to

three years ago.

Both the products  are very good
but there is a difference  in

colour, why am I telling you  this?

Because many times when you go
to your  customers for colour

proofing, you will be  confused
why is this colour combination is

not  sitting?

If the rejection is given
on customer  rejection, then you

have come to know a reason  here
that the colour difference is

good over the  selection of the
printer media and you  should

keep in mind that while booking
order from  your customer or

the same.

If you are  placing a bulk order,
first, give a sample so that

they  have the clarity of what
you are going to give them  and

what they are going to take.

So  this was a simple video to
explain that two types of  cards

are made, laser cards and AP
film card is  made from a rubber

sheet, one is made from AP  film,
one runs on laser, the other

runs on the  inkjet printer both
costing

Almost equal, the quality  of
both are fantastic, there is no

problem, it is  waterproof, long
lasting, one year will last  one

and a half years, there is no
problem, there  is a little

colour difference, take care of
it  and you must have done the

subscribe like and  share

And in the next video, we will
talk about  why head cleaning is

important inside these inkjets
printers  and how much

the difference it makes between
your  colour difference and  colour

matching.

Thank you and keep  watching
videos and wait for the next one
