I just got an NFC plastic ID card printer which is like the most hyperfixation random purchase but:

Ez amiibo cards

nice plastic cards I can print for people to take to cons in lanyards that link back to their socials

make a copy of my game collection in a card deck with custom art. Right now the scans will just have to go to a link containing the ROM, but when NFC gets more storage capabilities I can just carry entire retro games on a plastic card with no volatile memory!!!

PROXY CARDS! I'm never buying trading/game cards ever, I'm just gotta print them on some nice plastic that's never gonna rip or break, and if you scan it it'll go to some link that'll read the entire card aloud or smth. This also lets me go make my own card games or weird wacky stuff! Maybe my favorite videos or websites I'll just place on a card as a physical bookmark.

cannot wait to roll up to my first card game with thick plastic NFC cards with goofy ass changed artwork and then my holy grail of dice I own:

suggestions for an equally bizzare deck box to hold them in welcome

Headmate nametags!

It's pretty simple but eh, why not share what it is and how we did it.

Just three examples of nametags.

So here's the supplies list:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/PG-Safety-Lanyard-Black-1-Count/164213552

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pen-Gear-Plastic-Name-Tag-Badge-ID-Card-Holders-3-3-8-x-2-1-4-Clear-12-Ct/885720811

Key ring

Notecards (blank ones, not ruled)

Scissors

Markers

And it's pretty simple.

Cut the notecards to 2 ¼" × 3⅜" (or eyeball it to fit into the card holder)

Write the name of a headmate on two cards. This is a chance to stylize with your own flair. Pick colors the headmate likes and/or play with the font. We used this website to explore different font styles: https://www.fontspace.com/

Put them in separate holders but facing opposite directions (put one in one holder, and the other in another holder with the writing facing the back).

Repeat this for all of the headmates getting name tags, except put the first card into a holder that has one reversed (so that from the front it shows one name, and the back another).

When you get to the last name, put the backwards facing card into the first holder in step 3.

Stack them up so that the duplicate names are next to each other.

Slip a ring through the whole bunch. A keyring has been working for us so far. We tried a binder ring but it got loose and kept falling off.

Hook the lanyard on and you're done!

You should have a name tag that shows the same name on both sides (that way when the nametag inevitably flips about, your name is still visible). You pop the ring off of the lanyard and flip to the name of the new fronter when you switch.

If we could manage to get documents and printers to do what we want, we'd some day like to print out our pictures on these nametags so that folks know what we look like. We'd also like to get the nametags laminated for durability. But in the year or two that we've had these, we've only needed to replace the cards themselves once!

We know this doesn't work for systems that are too large or ones that have trouble knowing or sharing who's fronting. But we've found this really helpful around friends and family. (Bonus points: folks we aren't explicitly out to don't seem to notice enough to say anything. Closest we got was someone commenting "what? Worried you'll forget your name?" To which I replied "yup!" And they left it at that. So it doesn't seem to even be as overt as we imagined it would be!)

How to Choose the Right Print Materials for Your Project

Even in the modern world, where digital gadgets predominate, superior print options still have a distinct position. These are tangible items that you can handle, such as fabric-covered photos, banners, and business cards. They can communicate with humans in a manner that screens cannot, which makes them special. We will look at how to select the best high-quality print options for your project in this article. We'll discover the crucial considerations to make sure your artwork, produced with premium print options, can make a powerful and significant impression.

We at Focal Media are aware of the importance of this decision. Our goal is to assist you in navigating the complex world of print material choosing by dissecting the factors and nuances that lead to making something truly significant and influential. Using our experience, we set out to assist you in making the best choices possible so that your visual communication, whether it be on paper or on screen, is optimized.

Acknowledging the Specific Priorities of Your Work

Each initiative has its own audience, goal, and identity. Take a moment to comprehend the following dimensions before delving into the world of print materials:

Project Type: Describe the specifics of your undertaking. Is it a marketing campaign, an artistic project, or a corporate presentation? 

Each requires particular qualities from the print materials you choose.

Persona of the Audience: With your project, who are you hoping to reach? The process of choosing is guided by your understanding of the expectations and preferences of your target audience.

Design Parts: Make your desired design elements visible to incorporate: font, color, and artwork. These elements affect which materials are suitable with one another.

Financial Restraints: The size and quality of your project are shaped by your budget. Strike a balance between your artistic goals and realistic restraints.

Selecting the Ideal Paper

A key element of successful print materials, the weight, feel, and quality of the paper have a big influence on how your design turns out. When choosing the appropriate paper, take into account the following factors:

Weight and Thickness: Paper weight is measured in grams per square meter (gsm), which serves as a measure of thickness. Thicker paper conveys a sense of quality and durability; a greater gsm indicates this. Lighter paper works nicely for flyers and brochures.

Finish: The physical and visual experiences are greatly influenced by the finish, which might be matte, glossy, or textured. It modifies the way light reacts with the surface, which has an impact on the final impression

Coating: Coated paper has a smooth surface, making it perfect for tasks like brochures where vivid color reproduction is required. The organic texture of uncoated paper provides it with a classic, rustic feel.

Examining the Horizons of Print Material

The selection of print materials goes well beyond paper and includes a wide range of media to suit a variety of projects:

Vinyl: Vinyl is an extremely versatile material that is ideal for outdoor banners, signage, and promotional displays because of its durability in the weather.

Cloth: There are countless creative options available in the world of cloth. Different fabric types—from cotton to polyester—suit a range of purposes, from garments to decorative textiles.

Plastics: Long-lasting and flexible, plastics such as PVC are used in ID cards, signage, and promotional materials because of their adaptability and durability.

Metal: Metal printing gives off an impression of luxury, perfect for projects like business cards, signage, and commemorative items.

Getting Your Project Ready for Print

It takes careful planning to turn your concept into a tangible masterpiece:

File Formats: Verify that the design files you use are compatible with the requirements of your printer. A few common formats are AI and PDF.

Resolution: When printing your work in its final state, the high-resolution photographs (300 DPI) maintain its sharpness and clarity.

Bleed and Margins: To avoid essential elements being cut off during printing, include bleed zones and set the appropriate margins.

Producing Work of Superior Quality

Careful thought is essential for projects that aim for the highest feasible standard of quality:

Premium Paper: For important tasks like invitations and portfolios, use heavyweight, premium paper with an exceptional gloss.

Fine Art Paper: For precise color representation and beautiful texture, projects involving art prints or photography require fine art paper.

Fabric Elegance: When it comes to fabric printing, premium materials that keep their color and strength even after washing should be given priority. Choosing the correct print material is similar to starting on a journey that blends inspiration, usefulness, and intention. You can make your thoughts a reality by carefully planning your designs, investigating various sorts of materials, and matching materials to what your project requires. Each element, whether it is the feel of paper, the texture of cloth, or the durability of vinyl, enhances the narrative your product communicates. Recall that powerful print products convey ideas and emotions that resonate with readers and leave a lasting impact in addition to delivering information. Let the print choice of materials from Focal Media let your narrative shine with strength and grace as you embark on your print journey.

A Comprehensive Guide to ID Card Printing

ID cards play an important role in identifying individuals in schools, workplaces, events, and more. With advances in printing technology, it's now easier than ever for organizations to create customized ID cards onsite. This guide will explore everything you need to know about ID card printing.

What is ID Card Printing?

ID card printing refers to the process of printing personalized identification cards on blank card stock. It typically involves using a direct-to-card printer (DTC) that can print full-color images, text, logos, barcodes, and more directly onto the cards.

DTC printers offer many benefits over traditional offset printing for ID cards:

Fast turnaround: Cards can be printed on demand as needed, without having to wait for an external print shop.

Customization: Organizations can fully design and personalize the ID cards.

Security: Sensitive data can be kept in-house.

Convenience: New employees can get ID cards printed immediately. Lost or damaged cards can be replaced quickly.

Why Do Organizations Need ID Cards?

There are many reasons why companies, schools, and other organizations need identification cards:

Security – ID cards allow controlling access to facilities and events. Cards can contain RFID chips, barcodes, or magstripes.

Identification – They enable quickly identifying employees, students, event attendees, etc. This improves security and efficiency.

Information – ID cards store useful data like names, ID numbers, departments, access levels, and more.

Branding – Organizations can reinforce their brand by including logos, colors, and other branding elements.

Membership – ID cards serve as a membership card and proof that someone is affiliated with the organization.

Tracking – Usage tracking, time tracking, and other metrics can be tied to the ID card.

Key Components of an ID Card Printer

Direct-to-card printers contain several important components that enable printing directly onto blank cards:

Card feeder – This is the input tray that holds the blank cards and feeds them into the printer one at a time.

Printhead – The printhead contains ink cartridges and precision print nozzles that print the graphics, text, and other elements onto the card's surface.

Encoder – The encoder writes information to the card’s magstripe or RFID chip.

Lamination module – Some printers apply lamination to cards for protection and security.

Cleaning station – Rollers clean and remove debris from card surfaces before printing.

Card flipper – Units that print both card sides contain a mechanism to flip the card over.

Output hopper – The newly printed cards are deposited into the output tray.

ID Card Printer Features

Today's ID card printers offer many features and options:

Single- or dual-sided printing – Print on just the front or both sides of the cards.

Full-color printing – All modern direct-to-card printers offer full-color printing. Most use dye-sublimation for photorealistic images.

Magnetic stripe encoding – The printer can encode magstripes with data that can then be swiped through readers.

Contactless card encoding – Smart card chips and antennas can be encoded with data for contactless ID badges used in access control systems.

Lamination – Applying lamination protects printed cards from wear and tear.

Connectivity – ID printers usually connect via USB or Ethernet and come with card design software.

Print speed – Print speeds generally range from about 100 to over 1,000 cards per hour.

ID Card Printing Supplies

Printing ID cards requires certain supplies, most importantly:

Blank cards – You’ll need blank card stock made of PVC or PET plastic. Cards come in different styles and thicknesses.

ID card ribbons – Ribbons contain the color panels used during dye-sublimation printing. YMC with resin black panels are common.

Lamination pouches – Transparent laminate pouches are applied to card surfaces to protect printing.

Cleaning supplies – Cleaning kits and swabs help clean the printhead and rollers.

Magstripe cards – You’ll need blank cards with magnetic stripes for encoding.

Smart cards – These have embedded RFID chips and antennas for contactless encoding.

It’s important to use only approved supplies that meet your printer manufacturer’s specifications to ensure optimal print quality and performance.

ID Card Printer Costs

Here are the main costs associated with ID card printing:

ID card printer – Printer prices range widely from about $1,000 to $5,000 or more depending on features, print speeds, etc. Additional options like magstripe or smart card encoding increase costs.

Supplies – Ongoing costs for blank cards, ribbons, laminate, and other supplies need to be factored in. These are usually fairly inexpensive per card.

Software – Many ID printers include card design software. More full-featured software ranges from about $500 to thousands for enterprise systems.

Training – Some training on the printer operation and software is recommended to get started.

Overall, ID card printing offers tremendous convenience and professional results at relatively affordable costs for most organizations. For large volumes, outsourcing production may have advantages over in-house printing.

How to Design ID Cards

The first step in ID card printing is designing the cards. Here are some best practices for ID card design:

Include organization branding like logos, colors, and fonts to maintain consistency.

Make sure text is legible by using sans serif fonts and reasonable font sizes.

Use both text and photos/graphics – don’t make it text-heavy.

Focus on key information like names, titles, ID numbers, departments, expiry date, etc.

Front-load important info at the top/front of cards.

Use white space and borders to segment content.

Make any barcodes large and scannable.

Provide visual cues like color coding for easy identification.

Keep it simple. Avoid cluttering the design.

Proofread content closely before finalizing designs.

Consider both aesthetics and functionality.

Using ID card template software simplifies otherwise complex design work. Work with your printer vendor to verify card designs before printing.

How to Set Up an ID Card Printing System

Here are some tips for setting up ID card printing in-house:

Choose a dependable, high-quality ID card printer that fits your volume needs and feature requirements. Top vendors include Zebra, Fargo, Magicard, Evolis, and IDP.

Buy supplies like blank cards, ribbons, and laminate from reputable sources to avoid quality issues.

Install print driver software and card design software that comes with your printer.

Familiarize yourself thoroughly with the printer’s operation and maintenance requirements.

Establish ID card design standards and templates for consistency.

Train staff on designing and printing ID cards properly.

Store blank cards and supplies securely with limited access.

Plan for distribution of finished ID cards to new personnel.

Budget for ongoing card and supply replenishment. Factor in defect rates.

Schedule periodic printer maintenance and calibration to maximize uptime.

Maintaining Your ID Card Printer

To keep your ID card printer running smoothly:

Perform cleaning cycles regularly using cleaning kits. This maintains print quality.

Replace spent ribbons and laminate pouches promptly. Use only approved supplies.

Calibrate the printer as needed if print alignment drifts or cards aren’t being fed properly.

Update printer firmware when new versions are released to fix bugs and improve performance.

Don't expose the printer to dust, debris, liquids, or extremes of temperature or humidity. Keep covered when not in use.

Establish a maintenance schedule for tasks like cleaning the printhead, rollers, and sensors.

Visually inspect cards in the output hopper for defects so any printer issues can be caught early.

If print quality declines, try cleaning the printhead more aggressively and replacing old ribbons.

For smart card encoding issues, try cleaning the encoder head with a fiberglass pencil.

Taking good care of your ID card printer will ensure maximum uptime and print quality. Most issues can be resolved by keeping the printer clean and well-maintained.

Troubleshooting ID Card Printing Issues

Some common ID card printing issues and solutions:

Blank cards – The ribbon is finished or not installed correctly. Replace the ribbon.

Partial printing – Clean the printhead and check ribbon alignment.

Blurry printing – Clean the printhead, rollers, and cards. Calibrate the printer.

Misaligned printing – Realign and calibrate the printhead. Check card thickness.

Card jams – Clear the card path. Clean rollers and sensors. Lube the card feeder.

Driver errors – Update printer drivers and card design software. Reinstall if needed.

** connectivity issues** – Check cabling, ports, and Ethernet connections. Update firmware.

Feed problems – Clean the card feeder components. Lubricate per manual instructions.

For any persistent issues, contact your printer vendor for support. Provide photos, videos, or sample defective cards to aid troubleshooting.
