Plastic card printer requirements

As the technology for ID card printers continues to evolve, a wide variety of printers on the market offer different services depending on your needs. However, before you buy a printer, you must identify what you require from an ID card printer.

Volume

An important factor for deciding which ID card printer is best for your needs is the volume of output it can handle. If you need to print a high volume of plastic cards over a period of time, some printer models will be built with that in mind. Other printers are more suited to short, sporadic print runs and will therefore reduce any unnecessary costs.

Print speed

Print speed is an important factor to consider alongside print volume, as this determines how long it takes to print each individual card. Faster print speeds are a principal requirement for many industries, especially those that issue cards and badges on demand.

Security

For many organisations, security is becoming more important than ever. Several printers across a range of budgets offer various security features, including UV and hologram overlays, encoding, digital scrambling of data, and physical security features like locks on the printer's body.

Price

The price of the printer depends on the features of the printer, so if you know what is most important to your requirements, then you can make the best decision for your budget.

To reduce the cost, if necessary, you can decide whether to pursue certain features like duplex printing (consider manually flipping the card), enhanced print quality (monochrome text does not require a high dpi), and any future upgrading that may occur (some printers offer modules that can be installed later).

Although the cost may exclude some features at the outset, you can easily decide on a printer that suits your requirements now and in the future as your business grows.

Printer rentals

If you only need a plastic card printer for short-term use, you can rent an ID card printer for a great cost.

When you rent a printer from Plastic-ID, you can build the ideal package that’s perfectly suited to your requirements. When you receive your rental printer, you’ll be able to use it straight from the box.

Please allow a minimum of 24 hours for dispatch. If you require your printer rental urgently, please contact us to discuss available options.

Customer service

As a leading industry provider for ID card printers, Plastic-ID’s team of experts can provide expert advice and guidance on which printer is best for your requirements and your budget. We will match the price and get you the best deal if you receive a better quote elsewhere.

FARGO INK1000 ID Card Printer Single sided printing The first desktop ID card printer to use inkjet technology Easy to replace cartridges, less wastage – save money 600 x 1200 dpi print resolution Brilliant, accurate colour recreation Compact design for maximum flexibility Optional Omnikey encoding capability The first of its kind. The HID FARGO INK1000 is the first desktop ID card printer to use popular inkjet technology – just like a normal office printer or copier! The printer is easy to use, just like any other inkjet printer, but the difference is that this printer is capable of printing onto ordinary PVC cards. There’s no need to use a specific card type – it will print onto the same PVC cards that you would use with any other plastic card printer. Achieve brilliant colours and print resolution with the FARGO INK1000. 600 dpi x 1200 dpi print resolution makes for crisp text, barcodes and sharp photos. So, what’s the benefit of inkjet technology over dye sublimation? Simply, less wastage, greater sustainability! The ribbon cassettes used in other printers can sometimes result in wasted panels, equalling wasted prints. With inkjet technology, the ribbon cassettes are replaced by efficient ink cartridges, much like a typical office or home inkjet printer. There’s less plastic waste created by using ink cartridges over ribbon cassettes, and makes a more sustainable option for small to medium organisations that don’t print large quantities of cards.  Another benefit of ink cartridges over ribbon cassettes is that instead of data being transferred onto the used ribbon panels, ink cartridges don’t pick up any printed data and therefore eliminate a potential GDPR breach, however small it may be. The INK1000 is a compact and stylish printer with a neutral design that seamlessly blends into any office environment. The printer has an optional OMNIKEY 5127CK-Mini card encoding module that can be used to produce access control cards, cashless vending cards, gift and loyalty cards and much more...
