Card Printer Buying Guide

When it comes to buying a Card Printer there are many options. We simplify the process!
Check out our TOP 10 questions to ask when buying a Card Printer:

Frequently Asked Questions

An ID Card Printer is a specially designed desktop machine that accepts PVC Plastic Cards in the CR80 size (54mmx86mm). The Plastic Card Printer will use a dye-sublimation method to lay down a coloured or resin ribbon to the card in a crisp and durable finish such as Sigma DS2. Other ID Card Printer machines such as the Artista Range utilise Retransfer pigment-ink, which is highly durable and produces brilliant colours, over the edge of the card.

ID cards are used for identification, access to buildings or membership ID Cards in many industries ranging from education, government, gaming, corporate and many more.

By understanding the requirements or end goal of what you and your organisation are trying to achieve, CSID can assist you in choosing the right Plastic Card Printer and consumables to get you there.

All new ID Card Printers come with a minimum 2-year manufacturer warranty such as for the Entrust (Datacard) EM2 Card Printer Bundle and 3-year manufacturer warranty for Entrust (Datacard) Sigma Card Printer Range and Artista Card Printer Range. CSID will service the ID Card Printer machine and replace parts at nil cost within the warranty period.

Once the warranty has lapsed, CSID certified technicians will continue to service and support your ID card printer through on site, back to base and remote services.
