Differences Between Single and Dual-Sided ID Card Printers — Why it Matters
When selecting an ID card printer, an important issue to consider is whether the user needs or could benefit from printing on both sides of the card. The answer to this question lies in how the cards will be used (their purpose and function) and how much information they may need to display. For many users, one side of a card suffices to display pertinent cardholder and card issuer information. For other users, much more cardholder/issuer information must be visible to serve the card’s purposes.

Today we live with the threat of Covid-19 transmission and the persistent need to ensure safety and contain transmission of infectious disease. The worldwide COVID-19 crisis has established new cultural standards of personal responsibility concerning social distancing and prudent awareness of transmission risks. Responsible people everywhere want to do their part to not just “get through” but “beat” infectious disease—and prevent its re-emergence.
New COVID-19-induced standards and protocols require that individuals sharing any common environment—especially those in which disease transmission risks are high—understand as many facts as possible concerning infectious disease risks and management. The more facts available/shared, the better able people are to govern themselves wisely and effectively to minimize transmission.
