Which printer should a city or county start with?
The dual-sided Bodno A30 at $1,995 fits most agencies. Choose the Magicard D for a visible HoloKote watermark, or the Seaory R330 for durable cards and prox or chip cards.
Can our IDs work with our door access system?
If your doors use prox or smart cards, print on those cards with a retransfer printer like the Seaory R330, which prints edge to edge. To encode smart cards, add the A-Series Smart Card Encoder to a Bodno A-Series printer.
