Choosing the right ID card printer for your organization can be a daunting task – with printers costing several hundred to several thousand dollars, it’s not an expense you can take lightly. But with so many options, how can you know you’re making the right choice?

We’ve created a new seven step guide to choosing the right ID card printer to help! The guide will walk you through all the factors to consider when researching and buying an ID card printer, from determining a budget to upgrade options. With this guide you will:

  • Determine your budget
  • Choose single or dual-sided printing
  • Choose either dye sublimation or reverse transfer printing
  • Estimate your volume requirements
  • Decide on the need for lamination, visual security, and encoding
  • Determine the connection type best for your organization
  • And consider several other factors such as printer size and OS compatibility
