Card printing volume is one of the top three considerations when shopping for an ID card and badge printer. We recommend you consider how many average cards you expect to print in each session and during any given year.
Medium batch, or mid-range, printers are ideal for organizations printing 1,000 to 5,000 cards per year. The table below compares our preferred medium batch card printer choices, looking at:
- Printing capability
- Connectivity
- Encoding options
- Feeder capacity and features
