We know that your student ID cards are invaluable for your students. They clearly identify who they are, help monitor student accounts and allow students access to certain areas within your school. Because of this, a student ID serves as the most powerful administrative tool that you have at your disposal. In order to maximize the benefits of student ID cards, you must fully understand their benefits and how they can function. Here are five things that you must know about them: 1. There is more than one type of encoding technology you can use to manage the data stored on a student ID card Student ID cards are no longer simple picture IDs for universities. They can be embedded with any type of encoding technology. You can integrate smart chip, magnetic stripe or RFID technology into your students' ID cards; by doing so, you can allow your students to make purchases at the school store without a band/credit card and open doors without a doorman present. 2.

For our customers, managing security by simply putting turnkey locks at every door and plugging in a few security cameras simply is not good enough. They need more advanced security capabilities than this. One such technology is proximity card technology, which significantly enhances the ability to secure a room, building or entire compound. Here are the reasons why we always recommend that our customers who are seeking to maximize their security capabilities use proximity cards: What is a proximity card?

Using ID card systems is a great way to improve security and streamline access for authorized personnel. Before one of our customers can implement an ID card system, however, they need ID cards. Producing ID cards can easily be done on site, but this requires an ID card printer. There are many different types of ID cards and an equally varying number of ID card printers to produce them. As such, our customers need to carefully consider the type of ID card printer that will suit their unique needs. The three factors that you need to consider when choosing an ID card for your business are capability, quality and speed. 1. Capability Capability is number one on our list because it is the most important factor to consider when choosing an ID card printer (if the printer can't complete the basic task that you need it to do, then it is worthless to you).

When you're checking out specifications for good ID card printers you'll discover options include: Print Capacity Knowing your print requirements before you buy a new ID card printer is very important, it's a good idea to consider projected print needs for the years ahead too. Good printers will likely have abilities to print more than 500 cards daily, while government or university-type users will possibly need printers with abilities for very large scale print runs.
