Advantages of Dual-sided ID Card Printers

"When is the right time to purchase a duplex ID card printer?" is a question ID Wholesaler's Sales team gets asked every day. The simple answer is "When you want or need to print on both sides of the card." Reasons that using a single-sided card printer to print on both sides of the card is a cumbersome and costly choice:Advantages of Dual-sided ID Card Printing 1 - The template used for printing and populating the front of a card will be entirely separate from the template and data for the back of the card. 2 - After printing the front side, you have to manually flip the card to print the back side. This takes more time than it's probably worth. 3 - Manually flipping cards means you'll probably touch the card surface before it's printed. Cards contaminated with oil or dust may cause the dyes to be improperly applied or, worse yet, cause printhead damage. 4 - In most cases, you simply need to print one-color text on the back of a card. Using your standard color ribbon to print one-colored text is a tremendous waste of your colored inks. Compare this to using a dual-sided ID card printer where an easy click of the print button allows you to print on both sides of the card automatically. Not only do you save time without manually flipping the card around and swapping out ribbons and card templates, you can also save significantly on card supplies, including ribbons and overlamination.
