We invested in an ID card printer several years ago and print everything in house; they seem to usually come with software needed to design the cards. The model we use is fairly old at this point: the Evolis Tattoo2, and the software is called Asure ID. They're not cheap, but considering how often it's used to print new and renewing members' ID cards and staff ID cards, it was well worth the investment in the long term. We order the printing ribbon and blank cards from
Safe-Card ID Services: ID-Card Printers & Systems.
