Prices
The prices depend on the planned quantity of printed cards as well as the required accessories such as RFID encoders, magnetic stripe encoders or a flipper module. For schools, a card printer for medium quantities is usually sufficient. Here, the prices for a good device are between € 900,- and € 2000,-. Universities usually need more powerful printers that can cope with the larger print volumes. For such printers you should calculate between € 2000,- and € 4000,-. We will be happy to provide you with a suitable offer that is exactly tailored to your requirements.
RFID Cards
Printing RFID cards is possible with most card printers. If you already use specific RFID cards and want to encode them yourself, a corresponding encoding module can be built into almost any card printer. Here it is important to know exactly which RFID cards you are using.
In addition, you need software that encodes the RFID cards and delivers the corresponding data to the chip. We use the software Cardpresso XL or XXL for this.

Security
Here the manufacturers offer different possibilities how you can apply additional security elements to the student card. There are among others:
- Fluorescent elements
- Watermarks
- Holograms
- RFID chips
- Magnetic stripes
Whether such security features are possible on the ID cards depends on the card printer used. We will be happy to inform you which card printer is suitable for you. Holograms are usually only possible with high-quality card printers or an additional laminator. For large quantities, it is possible to have your own hologram made especially for you by the manufacturer.
