All have general design capabilities, and then advance to allow for additional benefits including but not limited to centralized databases, visitor management, and network capabilities. But are the various software choices only compatible with the same brand of printers? The answer is no. The software mentioned above are compatible across brands. Your choice should depend on ease of use and features set. Datacard’s new TruCredential has an extremely easy user-interface and allows you to design process flows for your typical ID needs.
