\"2015-05-15_0924\"<\/a>When deciding on an ID card printer<\/a> purchase, a typical question is whether you intend to print on one side<\/a> or both sides<\/a>. Many sellers fail to dig deeper into the problem and ask if you intend to print color on one or both sides of the card.<\/p>\n

If you intend to print color on one side and black on the back, all dual sided printers can offer a ribbon<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0to accomplish that.\u00c2\u00a0 For example, the Datacard SD360<\/a> allows for printing on both sides and the standard ribbon is the YMCKT-KT<\/a>. However, this choice of printer and ribbon doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t solve the need for full color on both sides of the card. If you know that dual sided color printing is the only way you intend to print, a single sided printer (Datacard SD260<\/a>) with a full color ribbon (YMCKT<\/a>), where you put the card through the printing process twice is your best bet. The process uses twice as much ribbon as a standard print, but does save you the cost of a dual sided printer.<\/p>\n

Until a dual sided color printer becomes available, your best bet is to use a full color ribbon and run the card through the printing process twice.\u00c2\u00a0 Always feel free to contact one of our\u00c2\u00a0ID professionals<\/a> with any questions on what is the best printer and ribbon combination for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
