Frequently Asked Questions

Often used for identification, an ID card printer is a specialized machine that prints plastic cards—often PVC. Among other things, these printers can create employee badges, membership cards, student IDs, access cards.

Most ID card printers apply thermal transfer or dye-sublimation technologies. They heat a ribbon such that ink flows onto the plastic card surface. Certain printers also allow laminating or encoding—that is, magnetic stripe, RFID.

There are three main types:

  • Single-sided printers – Print on one side of the card only.

  • Dual-sided printers – Automatically print on both sides.

Rewritable printers – Allow cards to be reused and updated without reprinting.

  • Direct-to-card printers print directly onto the card’s surface.

Retransfer printers first print the image on a film, then transfer it to the card. Retransfer printers offer better image quality and are ideal for smart cards or uneven surfaces.

Sure. High-resolution color images—including employee photos, logos, barcodes, QR codes, and custom text—can be printed on modern ID card printers.

Depending on your printer, you may print on PVC, composite PVC, smart cards, magnetic stripe cards, proximity cards, even environmentally friendly biodegradable cards.

Surely. Although most ID card printers come with simple design tools, many users upgrade to professional tools including CardExchange, EasyBadge, or Evolis Badge Studio for more sophisticated capabilities.

The printer model determines it. While high-volume models can print thousands, entrance-level printers can run 50–100 cards daily. Always pick a printer depending on your monthly or daily printing volume.

Regular maintenance includes:

  • Cleaning the printer rollers and printhead
