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.

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