ID Badge MiFare Card Printer

[petben]

Hello, we want to get a hardware solution to print our ID badges directly onto our Mi-Fare cards (which we use for user ID on printers, signin etc).

 

- 1 sided colour printing - User photo/Name/Role

- Software to create templates

- Mi-Fare compatibility so the card numbers can be automatically written back to a spreadsheet?

- SIMS integration (doubt this is possible)

 

Can anyone please recommend anything please?

If I were to buy a new one, knowing what I know now, It would be a Fargo DTC one.

 

Not the magicard rio 360 that I have that came with the access control system - Saying that it's been reliable and has printed around 5000 cards so far. But doesn't have the card reader bit..

We use an IDP Smart 51, plenty options available if you need

Cardpresso to make the cards, Different editions have different capabilities, basic does for us though.

No idea about the mifare/mis stuff

We've always used Magicard printers (which seem to last about 5-6 years before they start to play up)
