A dual-sided ID printer typically costs $400 to $600 more than a single-sided printer.
Printing on the back side of the card is best if you have a large amount of data to print. This is especially true if the back of the card contains variable data.
Entry-level dual-sided ID badge printers can be found for as little as $1,600, while enterprise ID badge printers can be as much as $9,000 depending on options.
A barcode is large enough that it can be read by a barcode scanner quickly and easily. This is very difficult if only printing on one side if other information is also included. Printing the barcode on the back of the card also helps print in true black using the (k) panel.
A lot of printers can be automatically updated later to include the dual-sided fuction, such as Magicard 300, Magicard 600, and Primacy 2.
Yes, it’s possible. You’ll save money in the beginning, but you’ll also spend more time and labor hours.
ID printers use ribbons of color to print the image. YMCKO stands for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black (K), and an Overlay Panel. If you are printing only black printing on the back side of the card, purchase a YMCKOK ribbon instead. This has an extra black panel so you do not burn through a whole set of colors just to get to the black panel again. If you are printing full color on both sides of the card, the YMCKO is still the correct ribbon. You will get half of the stated yield of the ribbon though.
Some dual sided printers have 2 laminate spools to hold 2 laminate rolls at the same time. This is a great advantage to speed up the lamination process, apply multiple types of laminates, and having larger yields before having to swap out laminate roles.

easy badges has been a great customer experience right from the start. Our President wanted to make company badges, and I hope no clue how to go about that. I found easybadges online and from the chat on their website I got hooked up with exactly what I needed!
