The majority of ID card printers are designed to print on cards that are the same size as driver's licenses, which is commonly referred to as CR80 size in the industry. However, there are specialized printers available that can print larger badges, although they tend to be more costly.
3.5 inches by 5.5 inches has emerged as the prevailing industry norm for professional sporting events and beyond. This particular dimension is typically the most economical choice and has shorter production timelines.
Zebra's ZC10L offers genuine edge-to-edge printing, while the Swiftcolor will result in a slight border around the cards. In any case, it is recommended for prestigious events to have us preprint the static design on the cards initially on commercial digital presses. Then, utilize the desktop printer to print only the variable information on the cards. This will ensure the best quality of cards for even the largest world-class events.
Various editions of our Easy Badges software have the capability to connect to different types of databases. For instance, the Standard edition is able to connect to Excel files, whereas the more advanced versions can establish connections with Access, SQL, and ODBC to directly link with almost any software.
Unfortunately, the oversized card does not provide enough space for flipping. However, Easy Badges offers the option to have the back of the card preprinted for your convenience if you do not want to run the cards twice after manually flipping the cards.
The definition of "best" varies depending on the specific requirements of your organization. Nevertheless, if fast printing speed is a crucial factor, we highly recommend the Swiftcolor printer. This printer is capable of producing cards in just 2-3 seconds, thanks to its ability to print on special PVC cards that are receptive to ink-jet technology. In comparison, other printers may take 25-30 seconds to complete the same task. On the other hand, if portability and true edge-to-edge printing are essential for your needs, the ZC10L printer is likely to be the superior choice. Cost per card is also a factor and depends on the exact volume and design needs.
No, the current offerings only support Windows.
It depends on the model, but the most flexible desktop printer for oversized cards is the Swiftcolor SCC-4000D. It can print plastic cards in any size between 1.9" X 3.35" and 4.7" X 11.81".

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!
