Accessorise your ID Card Printers

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

At ID Management Systems, we don’t just offer a wide range of ID card printers and tailored card systems, but are also proud to offer a range of card printer accessories – a great way to optimise your card printer.

At ID Management systems we can offer card printer accessories such as:

Card Shredders

In, for example, the sensitive corporate environment it is crucial both for an employees peace of mind and for security reasons that any old ID cards are correctly disposed of. This should ideally go beyond throwing an ID card away intact and should involve shredding a card, which is a surefire and affordable way to protect an employee’s credentials.

Cleaning Kits

Like all printers, ID card printers may require a certain level of maintenance from time to time. Never fear, however, as this doesn’t need to incur significant maintenance costs, and can instead be completed with a “Zebra Premier Cleaning Kit,” for example.

Holokote

If you want to achieve the optimum in security, then you can’t go wrong with Magicard’s patented “Holokote” technology, which will automatically print a watermark onto your ID cards and therefore immunise them from cloning – a thoroughly modern ID card solution.

Dust Covers

Last but not least, if you want a highly effective, though simple solution to dust retention, you should invest in an affordable dust cover. These are perfect for when you need to leave your ID card printers for any length in time, and don’t want to endure any significant maintenance costs down the line.

The Universal Security Solution

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

ID cards have a had a pretty bad press in recent years, and have become the byword for inappropriate government spending. However, the ID cards are not the Orwellian nightmare people would actually believe, and their ubiquitous use is actually the cornerstone of modern security.

Whilst it is true that lumbering the whole of society with an additional ID card (taking into account that passports and driving licenses are effectively ID cards) would be a waste of government initiative, there are certain applications were ID cards are not only helpful, but critical to ensure proper security.

Take visitor labels, for example; a primitive form of ID card but an identification card nevertheless. In terms of functionality this card punches above its weight as, for example, it prevents unauthorised people from being on site, ensures that visitors don’t stray into dangerous parts of a building or building site, and it is a simple way of getting to know people’s names.

On the more serious side of things, card systems are pivotal in the correct security regarding institutions such as prisons, where quick and easy identification of personnel and prisoners is a matter of utmost importance, and an environment where the rugged nature of an ID card (opposed to purely digital systems) is ideally suited to purpose.

So the fact is the more you think about identification cards, the more it becomes apparent that they are more than just potential government policy, but they are with us now. Not only that, but the proper functioning of some of our most important institutions depends on them!
