Badge printer help, from choosing to printing
Plain-English guides to ID card and badge printers: which one to buy, which ribbons and cards it needs, and how to fix it when a print comes out wrong.
What you’ll find here
Buying guides
Single-sided or dual-sided, direct-to-card or retransfer, USB or network: the questions that decide which badge printer fits your office, school or event.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon errors, card jams, faded or streaky prints, colours that look off, drivers that will not install: step-by-step fixes.
Ribbons & supplies
Which ribbon works with which printer, how many prints a roll really gives you, and the blank PVC cards and cleaning kits worth buying.
Software
Designing badges with photos, barcodes and logos, printing from a spreadsheet, and getting the template to line up.
Printer brands we cover
Zebra, Evolis, HID Fargo, Magicard, Entrust Datacard and the other common ID card printer brands, along with their ribbons and software. We are independent and not affiliated with any manufacturer.
