The Go-To Choice for a New ID Card Printer

Digital ID has been the go-to choice for a new card printer for 25+ years, helping businesses and organisations of all sizes make the right decision.

With so much choice on offer from leading manufacturers, identifying the best ID card printer for your requirements isn’t easy, so if you do require assistance, then you can contact one of our printer experts, who will be happy to help.

There are currently two types of printers available in stock, DTC (direct to card) and Retransfer.

DTC printers are regarded as the industry standard choice and are suitable for those with a small to medium sized monthly printing requirement. Retransfer printers offer a more secure solution and provide additional durability to each printed card, therefore making them a good option for those printing high monthly volumes or more secure card programmes.

Once you have selected the right printer, you will also need to purchase consumables to begin printing, and this is where we can also help. We stock an unrivalled range of card printer ribbons, blank plastic cards, contactless smart cards, lanyards, card design software and card holders, meaning you can purchase everything needed to get your ID card programme up and running straight away. If you do wish to go one step further and make your brand stand out, then you can receive a quote for personalised lanyards online in just a matter of a few clicks.
