FAQ
Start by considering how many cards you print per year, whether you need single- or dual-sided printing, and if you require features like encoding or security overlays. Bodno offers a Printer Finder Quiz to match you with the best model. For example, the Seaory S25 is ideal for basic staff IDs, while the Magicard D suits high-volume, secure badge printing.
Yes. Single-sided printers print on one side only—ideal for visitor passes or basic IDs. Dual-sided printers automatically flip the card to print on both sides, saving time and improving efficiency. Bodno offers both types, including the Seaory S28 and Magicard 400X, which support dual-sided printing out of the box.
Avoid buying based solely on price. Cheaper printers often lack key features like dual-sided printing, encoding, or security overlays. They may also have shorter lifespans and limited support. Also check the license type—some printers include a lifetime software license, while others offer a 3-year one-time license. Bodno’s trade-in program lets you upgrade affordably if you outgrow your current model.
No. Bodno printers are designed for non-technical users. Most models include plug-and-play setup, intuitive software, and lifetime support. Customers frequently highlight how Bodno’s team walks them through setup and troubleshooting remotely, making it easy to get started.
Bodno printers last an average of 7 years with proper maintenance. Models like the Seaory S26 and Magicard 400X are built for long-term use, and Bodno’s support team helps extend printer life with driver updates and remote diagnostics.
Security features vary by brand and model. Bodno offers printers with advanced options to prevent counterfeiting and tampering:
- Seaory S-Series (S25, S26, S28): UV printing with special ribbons
- Seaory R-Series (R330, R660): UV printing and optional laminators for holograms (available Jan 2026)
- Fargo HDP5000e & HDP6600: UV printing and custom hologram laminates
- Magicard (All models): Built-in generic HoloKote watermark
- Magicard D & 400X: Custom HoloKote designs for enhanced security
- Evolis Primacy 2 & Zebra ZC350: Specialty ribbons for overlays (less secure than holograms)
For high-security environments, Bodno recommends UV printing and custom hologram support.
