Printer Types


When you begin your ID card printing journey, you may have a design in mind. The type of ID badge printer you need will differ depending on your requirements, and there are a number of different features available between printers to keep costs low without compromising on the printed ID you're looking for. We stock a range of plastic card printers as well as printers that can print on paper, with single sided and dual sided features, as well as options for oversized cards, laminated cards, and encoded cards.


Single-Sided Printers


Single sided ID card printers are ideal if you only need to print on one side of the card. They can often be upgraded after purchase to grow with your business, ensuring you are not limited.

Double-Sided Printers


To add information on the back of your card, a double-sided printer (also known as dual-sided) printer is ideal. This can be upgraded after purchase, or is available pre-configured.

Oversized Card Printers


If you need to include additional information to your card design, there are oversized card printers available that print larger than standard cards. Ideal for events and ticketing.

Laminated Cards


If you require ID cards or membership cards with added durability, we offer a range of laminated ID card printers that add an additional protective layer on top of your design.

Printer Technology


When producing ID cards, the type of printing technology you require depends on what you need your ID cards and badges to look like. These types of technology produce different results, and have benefits depending on the card surface you are printing onto.


Dye-Sublimation


Some of the cheapest ID card printers utilise dye sublimation technology, which is where the printhead heats the ink to fuse it directly to the card's surface.

Direct-To-Card


Direct-to-card ID card printers (DTC) work in the same way as dye sublimation. The heating process creates million shades of YMCK for lifelike colour printing.

Retransfer Printers


Suitable for printing onto the surface of access control cards, retransfer ID card printers print colour designs onto a clear film that is then fused onto the plastic card.

Rewrite


Rewrite printers offer capabilities for creating and reusing ID cards, using heat technology and specialised cards to create a monochrome blue or black design that can be erased.

Encoded Cards


Turn your photo ID cards into access control cards with a range of card printers capable of producing encoded cards, with technology available such as Elatec, HID, SpringCard, MIFARE and more.

Browse Printers By Brand


We stock a large range of printers from all major and popular ID card printer brands and manufacturers. Feel free to browse by printer brand. Each printer brand will then further allow you to filter by printer type.
