Equipment for your ID System

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Getting effective ID systems for your business is one of most beneficial decisions you can ever make, but when it needs maintenance it can often be difficult to know what to do. That’s why it’s always important to have the right equipment and support in place, as this will enable you to be prepared for all eventualities.

If you have on-site plastic card printers, you’ll need maintenance equipment to help keep them running smoothly. Regular servicing is essential if you want to maintain the longevity of your printers, so always have the proper accessories including cleaning cards, cleaning pens and maintenance kits, and make sure you have someone on staff that can take care of any regular maintenance.

There’s always a chance, however, that you’ll need additional help to make sure your ID system and plastic card printers work properly. That’s why it’s important to choose a brand of printer or a supplier with great customer service, such as us here at ID Management Systems. We’re always on hand to offer help and advice, and having that support in place can be invaluable.

It’s important to remember that if you want your ID cards to go the distance you always need to go for the best quality models of printers that you can afford, ensuring that they’ll fulfil all of your requirements and also that they’ll keep working for years to come.

So, it really is important to get the right support and equipment to maintain your ID systems. You can’t hope to have a successful system if you don’t run regular maintenance checks, so make sure you have everything needed to be prepared.

Business cards from ID card printers

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

ID card printers can be put to additional use, and save money, by producing give-away business cards for your personnel. Such business cards do not normally carry all the personal data of actual ID cards, though some do include a photograph, greatly enhancing the ‘memorable factor.’ Certainly, these plastic business cards offer a modern and stylish feature of your organisation’s branding.

Business cards are essential to any business’s marketing and any organisation’s public profile. No-one would think of attending a conference, networking or publicity event without a supply of them. They not only provide contact details for a named individual, but also act as a branding signature, a PR tool, and an aide memoir. A business without a business card is like a football shirt without a sponsor’s name.

Increasingly, plastic cards are replacing traditional paper-based business cards, because they are more durable, waterproof and stainproof, and simply look altogether more modern and upmarket. The physical toughness of plastic cards means they are also less likely to be lost or discarded by recipients, meaning your contact name and organisation details will be in someone’s easily-retrievable possession for longer. With the right sort of plastic, they can even be written on like traditional cards, to add notes and extra data when cards are exchanged. Importantly, though plastic cards (such as the Fototdeck Bio we produce at ID Management Systems), whilst retaining their integrity and durability for all normal usage, are completely biodegradable in a few years once properly discarded.

Adding business cards to your in-house plastic card printing repertoire will enhance your organisation’s public profile and long-term cost-effectiveness.

Making your own ID cards

Monday, January 18th, 2010

It is perfectly feasible to produce your organisation’s own ID cards in-house, and there are several advantages to doing this.

• Cards can be produced, replaced or modified almost instantly, with no time-lag for delivery

• Existing security and human resource systems can be totally integrated

• No restrictions on numbers produced

• Scope for inexpensive experimentation with different styles and functions

• Total control of the issuing of security and time-keeping cards

• Sensitive personnel data is not released to third parties

To establish in-house production for your ID systems, you will need to invest in the appropriate hardware and software for plastic card printing. This may include a digital camera, a tripod, printer (with pre-installed software), and blank plastic cards. The various elements can of course be purchase separately, but are also available in convenient and cost-effective bundles from good suppliers.

Digital ID card printers are not difficult to use, despite performing several functions simultaneously, such as printing, encoding smart cards, and inserting proximity chips and magnetic strips. The printers come in different sizes and specifications, according to the range of functions required and the level of workload envisaged.

Before choosing an ID card printer consider:

• How many cards will you want to print

• Single-sided or double-sided cards

• Multi-coloured images

At ID Management systems we carry a huge stock of printers, new and used, from a wide range of manufacturers. Most reputable distributors and manufacturers of ID card printers will be happy, like us, to provide a free on-site demonstration to help you make the best choice.

Why plastic card printing is popular

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Plastic card printing has been used by government departments, schools, academic institutions as well as companies, mostly due to the utmost convenienve that is on offer.

The popularity has been underpinned by the improved technology which has seen the price of printers becoming rather affordable.

What makes plastic card printing efficient?
Plastic card printing has been adopted by a variety of organisations for the simple reason that the printers are reasonably priced, if one considers the tasks that they do for the institutions. Another reason for their proven efficiency is that they are very easy to use, therefore not time-consuming, and there is no need for specialised training if one wants to operate them.

Most of the ID card printing devices presently on the market are very simple to use and designed with the intention of being very user friendly. Whilst they are easy to use, these devices always give you a satisfying end result. Another reason why they have been growing in popularity is that it has become cheaper to have your identity card printing done on your own premises using your own machine, rather that outsourcing.

In many cases, the printing companies that offer the service require bulky printing orders, running into thousands which may not be the case if you have staff or pupils running into a few hundreds.

At ID Management Systems, we boast of a very wide range of printers that quickly get the job done, giving you maximum satisfaction.

Plastic card printing: an integral part of the company

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

Plastic card printing is one of the most important security processes that can be undertaken by a school, government institutions, technical college or a workplace. When you have purchased a plastic card printer, it is important that you know how to operate it to ensure that you get the best quality possible.

It is also important to make sure that the plastic card printer that you have identified does the job perfectly. If you are looking for the most ideal printers, then you need not go further than ID Management Systems – and we’re only a click away.

Choose a printer that does the job
When you want to enhance security at your company then the plastic card printing process is very difficult to fake. It is thus important that you do not go for the run of the mill type of printers that only give you a dog’s breakfast.

Imagine how many security breaches you would record if the printer you have does a basic job. It is important that the printer allows for security enhancement such as proximity chips, security ink and magnetic stripes.

It is also important to have a final product that can work together with other intrusion countermeasures, such as clearance qualification, proximity card scanners and security inspection teams to guarantee that people and equipment can only go where they are authorised to.

When you have a plastic card printing device that allows these measures, you can be guaranteed to have peace of the mind at the school or workplace. With ID Management Systems at the ready, this guarantee is never too far.
