Plastic card printer requirements

As the technology for ID card printers continues to evolve, a wide variety of printers on the market offer different services depending on your needs. However, before you buy a printer, you must identify what you require from an ID card printer.

Volume

An important factor for deciding which ID card printer is best for your needs is the volume of output it can handle. If you need to print a high volume of plastic cards over a period of time, some printer models will be built with that in mind. Other printers are more suited to short, sporadic print runs and will therefore reduce any unnecessary costs.

Print speed

Print speed is an important factor to consider alongside print volume, as this determines how long it takes to print each individual card. Faster print speeds are a principal requirement for many industries, especially those that issue cards and badges on demand.

Security

For many organisations, security is becoming more important than ever. Several printers across a range of budgets offer various security features, including UV and hologram overlays, encoding, digital scrambling of data, and physical security features like locks on the printer's body.

Price

The price of the printer depends on the features of the printer, so if you know what is most important to your requirements, then you can make the best decision for your budget.

To reduce the cost, if necessary, you can decide whether to pursue certain features like duplex printing (consider manually flipping the card), enhanced print quality (monochrome text does not require a high dpi), and any future upgrading that may occur (some printers offer modules that can be installed later).

Although the cost may exclude some features at the outset, you can easily decide on a printer that suits your requirements now and in the future as your business grows.

Printer rentals

If you only need a plastic card printer for short-term use, you can rent an ID card printer for a great cost.

When you rent a printer from Plastic-ID, you can build the ideal package that’s perfectly suited to your requirements. When you receive your rental printer, you’ll be able to use it straight from the box.

Please allow a minimum of 24 hours for dispatch. If you require your printer rental urgently, please contact us to discuss available options.

Customer service

As a leading industry provider for ID card printers, Plastic-ID’s team of experts can provide expert advice and guidance on which printer is best for your requirements and your budget. We will match the price and get you the best deal if you receive a better quote elsewhere.

Brand: Matica Model: ID-PR0030000
About the Matica MC310 ID Card Printer The Matica MC310 direct-to-card printer, with its easy setup, slick design and fast print speed, aims to streamline the card printing process for all industries. An advanced print engine enables an impressive print speed, the MC310 capable of printing 180 full-colour cards per hour (single-sided) and up to 850 cards per hour when printing in monochrome colours such as black, red or blue. An optional dual-sided upgrade means that the printer can also produce double-sided cards, increasing versatility. For those that need to encode their cards, this can be done at the time of printing with the MC310. Optional magnetic stripe encoder and contactless smart card encoders can be integrated into the unit from purchase, or the hardware can be added retrospectively should you need the functionality further down the line. This means that companies from all industries can produce cards for access control, cashless vending, clocking in/out systems and much more. There is a wide range of consumables available for the Matica MC310, strengthening the potential of the printer to produce a myriad of cards for different uses, including but not limited to staff ID, gift cards, loyalty cards, membership passes and event name badges. Matica’s YMCKSc security ribbon can be used to add further layers of visual security to your printed cards to help prevent duplication.

Brand: Magicard Model: 3680-0001
Powered by a high-grade processing unit with an impressive array of features, Ultima is ideal for the localised or centralised issue of high volumes of secure smart cards.   An intuitive touch screen with print preview and supplies indicators provides an easy-to-use interface to Magicard’s most advanced and durable print engine. Ultima enables you to print up to 100 high-definition full-colour cards per hour. Print quality means staff can quickly and easily identify the facial features on ID cards for comparison against the holder. This makes it the ideal solution for drivers’ licences, national ID cards and other cards where security is paramount. The Ultima retransfer printer has built-in visual security via up to 10 secure HoloKote® watermarks. That means you can distinguish different departments with a separate holographic design if you choose to do so. For additional built-in security, Ultima exploits the wavelengths of the dye film so it can fluoresce under UV lighting. High capacity consumables (1000 prints) and hoppers, combined with a range of encoding options to write secure electronic data to the card, make the Ultima ideal for high volume localised or centralised issuance of secure smart cards. High-quality reverse transfer card printing The key to the Magicard Ultima is the reverse transfer (also called retransfer) printing process. Unlike the standard dye sublimation process, your card design is first printed on a clear film and then adheres to the card surface. This process gives you a higher definition of print quality and allows you to print successfully, even on smart cards with uneven surfaces. It also gives you additional card durability and tampers resistance so that the cards will last longer. Secure ID cards with Magicard HoloKote® As with all Magicard printers, the Ultima comes with the built-in HoloKote® system and prints a secure watermark across the face of every card at no additional cost – the first reverse transfer printer to offer this. New with the Ultima, you can now print a Secure HoloKote® – a fluorescent version of the HoloKote® watermark that will show up under black light, adding another layer of security to your cards. Choose from 10 standard patterns of Secure HoloKote®, printed using the specialised YMCKS secure colour ribbon...
