Our in house card production team use card printers like these to produce thousands of cards on a regular basis. We use these card printers ourselves, so we do know what we’re talking about.

At the higher-end of the market, we offer re-transfer card printers like the renowned Fargo HDP series and Zebra’s new ZXP8 series.

Identify Your Staff

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

From hospitals to hospitality, good quality, tamper-proof ID Cards are essential to identify your staff. Not only do these ID cards mean you know who is who amongst your staff, but it also allows your customers to know with whom they are speaking. It may seem trivial but this increased transparency can make all the difference to how your clients perceive both the staff and the service that you offer. It also allows clients and customers to take the first step to making every encounter a more personal experience.

Naturally ID Cards are absolutely essential if any of your staff are going to be calling at anyone’s private dwelling. After all we are told not to let anyone into our homes without first seeing their identification, so a plastic card with the name of the workplace together with a photograph of the person and their name is the least that is needed. If you send someone out with no identification card then you make your business appear totally unprofessional and entirely untrustworthy.

Here at ID Management Systems we can supply all the software, visual recognition technology, cards and ID card printers that you may need appropriate to the number of cards you are likely to need. The cards can be made in minutes so not only can your staff have cards but any visitors to your premises can have a card made, complete with their photograph, when they report to your reception. Get the identification process right and you will always know with whom you are speaking.

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

It is also important to ensure that when purchasing an identity card printer, the necessary security features are included. If you are looking for top of the line, high security printers, you should probably purchase a printer that has ultra violet overlay and holographic over-lamination. While these features may mean an extra cost for the item, they are worth the purchase.

It is also important to make sure that you are aware if the print is colour or monochromatic. This is important for comparing prices as well as making sure that you know what you are going to purchase, and whether or not the tasks you need to perform can be carried out on the printer itself.

It is also important to make sure that your purchase is intended for one or both side-use. These are features which are important depending on what type of card you intend to have. Lastly, it is vital to make sure that the printer allows encoding or magnetic stripping for enhanced security features – all of which can be located on our ID Management Sytems website.
