Over the years your organization has continued to grow and expand, but has your ID card printer kept up? It may have met your card printing needs a year or two ago, but if it’s not the best solution for your anymore it’s time to upgrade.

When should you consider upgrading to a new system?

  • You’ve updated your card design to be dual-sided, and you have a single-sided printer
  • Your company was smaller when you purchased the system, but now you need software with a larger & more advanced database
  • The way your organization uses cards has changed and now you need features not available on your printer, such as lamination for more durable cards

Some ID card printers offer upgrades as modules you can add-on after purchase, allowing you to add new features without buying a completely new one.  These can include dual-sided printing modules and larger-capacity hoppers. Other times you’ll need to buy a new printer – the cost of a new printer is often comparable to adding features to your old printer, but you’ll have more upgrades available when buying new.

Maybe your printer is still fine, but you are running into limitations with your ID card software? With AlphaCard ID Suite it’s easy to upgrade to a different version, giving you access to additional features such as unlimited database fields, multiple layouts per template, smart card encoding, and advanced database options.
