ID card printers come in three levels from the manufacturer entry-level, mid-level and high-volume or professional card printers. It is always a daunting job to select the right printer for your enterprise. Before going on to buy a specific ID card printer for your business it is important to have a clear understanding of the different features of the different brands of card printers.

 

For entry-level printers, you need a machine that will print cards quickly and reliably. Entry level printers are usually a mite slower than mid-level and professional printers. Therefore, such printers are great for the not-so-speedy operations. Such printers are capable of printing both monochrome and colour cards. Evolis Zenius brand of printers is a good choice for entry level printing jobs. Entry level printers are most suited for small offices that house a few employees where you need personalized cards reliably and quickly.
