What is an ID Card Printer?

The term 'ID Card Printer' refers to a system which is capable of printing credit card-sized plastic ID cards that can be used to identify professionals in corporate offices and events. The information normally included is name and job title alongside a profile photo. 

The type of plastic ID Card Printer you choose will depend on your needs. ID Card Printers can be used to print employee ID cards, access control cards, loyalty cards, student ID cards, payment cards, passes for transport and events, and much more. They also vary in print volume capacity, single or double-sided printing, and available print colours. Check out our range of low cost ID card printers here.

How do ID Card Printers work?

ID Card Printers use PVC cards to print ID cards. First, the printer ribbons and ID cards need to be inserted into the machine, then the user can design their ID Card in a card software program such as Evolis CardPresso before printing. A company logo, and font are a great place to start. Followed by important information such as individual/company names/locations, or allergen information in the case of our food labeling printer packages Edikio Guest and Price Tag.

How do I set up my ID Card Printer?

Begin the setup by installing the ribbon cartilage, inserting the ID cards, and installing the card design software, instructions below.
