Everyone wants the best deal when they’re making a purchase, whether it’s a car or running shoes. Thanks to the internet, we have a seemingly endless array of choices, and we’re savvy enough to make sure that we’re not paying too much.
With that being said, if you’re shopping for photo ID printers, it’s natural to gravitate toward the least expensive card printer model. I’m avoiding the word “cheapest ID card printer” here because nothing that ID Wholesaler carries is cheap! Every standard or custom card printer configuration we offer will suit almost any card application.
While each printer on our site varies in capacity, print quality, features, and pricing, not a single one of them are “cheap.” The least expensive model may be a good fit for your needs, it may not be the best fit.
For example, Evolis offers the
Badgy ID Card Printer which is priced under $1,000. This is an option for certain small businesses.
One step up from this is the
Evolis Zenius ID Card Printer. For just a few hundred dollars more, you’ll get much better print quality, larger ribbon yields, a better warranty, and more printer upgrade options. One thing the price tag
won’t tell you is that the Badgy also prints with a thicker unprinted border around the outside edge versus the industry standard of two pixels.
What are you willing to sacrifice for your ID card program in order to save a few dollars?
Depending on your specific needs or organizational requirements, we can assure you that you won’t be disappointed if you can spring for one step up from the least expensive ID card printer. However, you may be disappointed if you settle on something just because of the price tag. No matter how much you are spending, you need to make sure you’re getting the most for your money.
At ID Wholesaler, our goal is to develop a long-term relationship with you – our customer – and to partner with you to ensure a successful card printing program. Call an ID Professional today at (800) 321-4405 to discuss your needs. We’re confident we’ll be able to point something out that the price tag did not.
