Organisations use ID cards to confirm a person’s identity. Examples include driving licences, company cards, and student ID cards, all popular worldwide.
However, many don’t realise that a simple ID card containing low-level security features may not be as secure as it seems.
No, the only card printer technology that can print to access control cards is a retransfer printer such as the Magicard Ultima.
To get full coverage on both sides of any access control card, a retransfer ID card printer is required. Retransfer printers are designed to safely print onto access and smart cards, whereas an inkjet or direct-to-card printer can suffer internal and print head damage as a result of printing onto the uneven surface of an access control card.
There’s nothing more inconvenient than your print job being put on hold because a plastic card has gotten stuck mid-printing. In our latest post, our support team share their expert advice on how to fix card jams in our most popular ID card printer models, which you can learn more about in our best ID card printers review.
