FAQ

01 Can I Print on Both Sides of My Cards with a Single-Sided Printer?

Technically, yes, you can print one side of your cards with a single-sided ID card printer, load them back into your card hopper and send them through your printer again to print the other side. However, this is not only time consuming, it's also not recommended by any of the card printer manufacturers as this practice tends to damage the sensitive printheads in card printers.


When you handle your cards after printing them, the cards will collect dust and debris from the air and oils from your hands. Putting cards that have been handled in this way back into your single-sided card printer brings these contaminates into contact with your printer's printhead. This practice commonly causes printhead pixel damage which will not only affect the quality of your printed card output, it will also be expensive to fix. Once a printhead is damaged, the only way to fix it is to replace it with a new one. Plus, damage to a printhead from this type of non-standard use may even void printer warranty coverage.


There are many single-sided printers that offer easy upgrades to dual-sided printing as your needs change. Shop for a dual-sided printer if you need to print to both sides of your cards now.


02 Can I upgrade a single-sided ID card printer to a dual-sided printer in the future?
Yes, it is possible to upgrade some single-sided ID card printers to dual-sided printers in the future. Many manufacturers offer field-upgradable modules that allow users to add dual-sided printing capabilities to their existing single-sided printers. This can be a cost-effective solution for businesses that initially only require single-sided printing but may need to expand their printing capabilities later on. However, not all single-sided ID card printers are upgradable. It is essential to verify with the specific printer model and manufacturer whether an upgrade option is available before making a purchase. At Bodno.com, our team of experts can help you choose an upgradable single-sided ID card printer based on your needs and provide guidance on the upgrade process when required.
03 How do single-sided ID card printers differ from dual-sided printers?

Single-sided ID card printers:

  • Print on one side of the card at a time.
  • Often have a lower initial cost, making them a more affordable option for organizations with smaller budgets or those that only require basic card designs.
  • May require manual flipping of cards if information needs to be printed on both sides, which can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and potentially damaging to the card. Flipping the card manually may introduce dust, fingerprints, or other contaminants that can compromise the card's quality and even damage the printer.

Dual-sided ID card printers:

  • Print on both sides of the card in a single pass, eliminating the need to manually flip the card.
  • Provide more design flexibility, as they can accommodate additional information, security features, or graphics on the back of the card.
  • Tend to have a higher initial cost due to their additional printing capabilities.

Choosing between a single-sided or dual-sided ID card printer depends on your organization's specific needs, such as the card design, security requirements, and budget. If you only need to print basic information on one side of the card, a single-sided printer may be sufficient. However, if you require more advanced card designs with information or security features on both sides, a dual-sided printer would be a better choice.
