How To

Maintenance

It's amazing how much simple preventative steps can keep something working well. Take a sports car, for instance. Changing the oil and performing regular checkups has made many cars run like kittens for 50+ years. The same goes for ID card printers. Proper maintenance can mean the difference between an ID card printer that lasts 3 years and a printer that lasts 10. Performing regular, simple maintenance procedures can not only extend the life of your printer, but keep the quality of your cards top notch.


AlphaCard's how-to section for ID card printer maintenance gives you instructions for simple ID card maintenance, including printer head cleaning and updates. Keeping your printer well-maintained can keep color prints clear, reduce miscolorations and ribbon errors, and keep the card mechanisms smooth and printing efficient for years to come.

    will you print per year?
  1. Do you need to automatically
    print on both sides of the card?
  1. Do you need a magnetic stripe?
