Frequently Asked Questions on HiTi Card Printers
What is ID card printing?
ID card printing is the process of creating and producing identification cards using specialised printers, such as the CS200e and CS220e. These cards typically include personal information, photos, and sometimes encoded data to verify the identity of the cardholder.
What types of identity cards can be printed?
ID card printers can produce various types of cards, including employee badges, student IDs, access control cards, membership cards, visitor passes, and loyalty cards. The flexibility of a card printer allows for customisation to meet your specific requirements.
What is the difference between single-sided and dual-sided printing?
Single-sided printing refers to printing on one side of the ID card, typically the front side, while dual-sided printing allows printing on both sides of the card. Dual-sided printing is beneficial when additional information or designs need to be included on the back of the card. Some card printers require a specific flipper module, which turns the card over before passing through the printer a 2nd time, allowing the process to be automated.
What is the encoding feature in ID card printers?
The encoding feature in identity card printers enables the integration of smart card technology into the ID cards. This allows for the encoding of data onto the cards, such as security features, access control information, or cashless payment capabilities. Our range of HiTi card printers have optional magnetic stripe and smart IC encoding modules.
What is the difference between thermal transfer and direct-to-card printing?
Thermal transfer printing uses a ribbon to transfer ink onto the card, resulting in high-quality, vibrant prints. Direct-to-card printing, on the other hand, applies ink directly onto the card surface. While both methods are commonly used, thermal transfer printing often delivers better print durability and resistance to fading, along with less susceptible to any card imperfections which could cause printing issues.
Can ID card printers handle different card sizes and materials?
Yes, many ID card printers offer flexibility in terms of card sizes and materials. They can handle standard PVC cards as well as proximity cards, magnetic stripe cards, smart cards, and even thicker cards like access control cards or clamshell cards.
How long does it take to print an ID card?
The printing time for an identity card depends on factors such as the complexity of the design, the printer’s speed, and the number of cards being printed. However, modern card printers are designed for efficiency, and they can usually print a single card in a matter of seconds.
Is card printing software included with the printers?
Most card printers come with basic software for designing and printing cards. However, for more advanced features and customisation options, dedicated ID card software is recommended. These software packages provide templates, database integration, encoding capabilities, and other features to streamline the card printing process.
Can card printers be connected to existing systems or databases?
Yes, many card printers offer connectivity options such as USB, Ethernet, or wireless connections, allowing them to integrate with existing systems. This enables seamless data transfer and synchronisation, making it easier to print cards with accurate and up-to-date information.
It’s always important to remember to consult the specific instructions and recommendations that are provided by the manufacturer for your card printer, to ensure optimal performance and security.
