Bodno pairs proven printers with its own support team. Every printer includes lifetime technical assistance, and most models are eligible for Bodno TotalCare—a premium 5-year plan that covers fast repairs, loaner printers, annual training, and priority service. We also offer a trade-in rebate on your old ID card printer; the amount depends on the model you buy.
Use Bodno’s Printer Finder Quiz to match your needs with the right model. Whether you print 100 cards a year or 10,000, the quiz recommends printers based on volume, security, and budget. You can also contact Bodno’s support team for personalized guidance.
Yes. All best-selling printers come with everything you need to get started—including Bodno ID Card Software and setup instructions. Most models include sample cards and ribbons, and Bodno’s team offers remote setup support to walk you through installation step by step.
We sell Zebra, Fargo, and Evolis printers because they're excellent, and every printer on this page prints at 300 dpi or better. Our own Bodno A-Series adds a lifetime Bodno ID Card Software license (valid for the life of the printer it ships with and transferable to a new computer) and support from the Bodno team that built it, starting at $995. The A-Series FAQ compares it side by side with Zebra, Fargo, Evolis, and Entrust on price, coverage, and software.
