How to Choose an ID Card Printer
- Direct-to-card vs retransfer
- Direct-to-card printing prints straight onto the card surface and is the standard, economical choice for most organisations. Retransfer printing prints onto a film that is then bonded to the card, giving edge-to-edge coverage and a better result on cards with embedded chips.
- Single-sided vs dual-sided
- Single-sided printers print one face and are sufficient where all information fits on the front. Dual-sided printers print both faces automatically, which suits cards carrying terms, emergency contacts or additional data on the reverse.
- Encoding
- Where cards are used for access control or attendance, printers can be specified with magnetic stripe or smart card encoding so the card is programmed and printed in one operation.
- Print volume
- Consider how many cards you issue in a batch and annually. A printer sized for occasional issuance will struggle with large intake drives at the start of an academic or financial year.
- Ribbon yield and running cost
- Ribbons are rated for a number of cards. Running cost per card, not just the printer price, determines what the system actually costs you over time.
- Card compatibility
- Confirm the printer handles the card thickness and type you intend to use, particularly for chip or proximity cards.
