ID Card Printer FAQs
Direct-to-card or retransfer: which do I need?
Direct-to-card printers print onto the card surface and suit most employee and student IDs. Retransfer printers bond a printed film to the card for edge-to-edge, more durable results, and print evenly on proximity and smart cards.
How much does an ID card printer cost?
Direct-to-card printers start at around $1,600 and retransfer printers at around $4,900, plus ongoing card and ribbon costs.
What is a CR80 card?
The standard credit-card size for ID cards: 3.375" × 2.125" (85.6 × 54 mm), usually 30 mil thick.
