Using Your ID Printer to Create Business Cards

We all know ID card printers can produce high-quality photo IDs, but have you ever thought of using your card printer to create business cards?

Like a firm handshake, a professional business card exudes confidence, and when you use your ID printer to create business cards, they can be printed on thin plastic cards rather than flimsy paper or cardstock. Not only will these cards impress your peers and clients, but you'll also feel good knowing you've found another way to utilize your ID printer beyond its original purpose.

Many ID card printers have the ability to print full-color business cards, but two of our more popular models are the Fargo C30e and the Fargo DTC400e. Both the C30e and DTC400e can print on multiple card-types, including standard CR80 cards, rewriteable cards, technology cards, and the thin plastic cards you would likely use when printing business cards. Designing and printing business cards with your ID printer is not much different that printing photo IDs. Choose a background color, customize your design, add a logo and maybe a photo along with the cardholder's name, title, and contact information, and just like that you're making business cards guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.

Learn more about thin card printing with the Fargo Persona C30e and Fargo DTC400e.

QUESTION:
How do I improve color printing for my ID cards?

ANSWER:
The difference between a good color print and a mediocre one can be remarkable. A full color ID card shows depth and detail clearly - while a print of less quality can have white lines from lack of color, and faded spots where there should be color. A card with a great print, especially in applications where it's displayed constantly, is also worn and displayed with more pride. It doesn't take much to create great color prints - simple maintenance steps performed on a regular basis can go a long way in keeping your printer making great color cards for years to come.
