New Magicard Tempo secure ID card printer

This is quick and convenient, and even allows for easy double-sided card printing ? just flip the card over and print the other side.Magicard is the only brand of printers that automatically prints an anti-card-copying watermark onto the card during the print cycle.

Student ID card: don't leave home without it
The student ID card, which most students obtain during their Day on Campus, might be one of the most important pieces of identification, according to Wayne Hilt."I suggest that students treat it like their drivers' license," said Hilt, who is the card services manager. "There's a $20 replacement fee and without it, students might find it hard to survive."The student ID card, which displays a student?s name, identification number, classification and picture, has many functions, making the card a necessity for Purdue students. The ID card allows students to use many University facilities ? like the libraries, the Recreational Sports Center, CityBus and the residential dining halls.The ID card also has the ability to serve as a debit card once students sign up for a BoilerExpress account. With BoilerExpress, students can purchase meals and snacks, use laundry machines or make photocopies.
