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.

- Magicard D & 400X: Custom HoloKote designs for enhanced security
