Key Points
to Consider Before a Purchase of an ID Card Printing machine |
|
| |
 |
Do you plan to
print on one side or both sides of the card?
|
 |
Will you need
a laminating printers to increase card security and prolong
the life of your cards? If this is not an immediate
requirement, do you foresee adding a laminating module at
a future date?
|
 |
Do you have an
access control system or do you plan to implement one in
the future? If so, you will need a printer that has
magnetic stripe, proximity or smart card encoding, or the
capability to add an encoding module in the future.
|
 |
Are several
people in different locations or buildings going to be
responsible for issuing ID or visitor badges? If so, you
will need a printer and software that allows networking,
so the card issuers can print to one or several
ID printing machines.
|
 |
Will you be
printing infrequently or would you consider yourselves as
a moderate or high-volume location (i.e. large companies
or government agencies, ski hills, colleges, schools and
universities).
|
 |
Do you require
high definition colour and clarity or need to print on the
irregular surfaces of today’s advanced security cards? |

 |

need single-sided or dual-sided cards? |
 |
