A professional photo ID card, printed on PVC plastic with an indelible, secure surface, requires specialized equipment. While a simple facsimile can be printed on paper with a high-quality color laser printer, these will never substitute for a professional plastic ID card. The printers required to make these cards cost many thousands of dollars, and are generally not easy to set up and operate. In addition, most professional photo ID cards have numerous features to make them very difficult to reproduce. If you look closely at your drivers license, you’ll notice at least half a dozen features which make it extremely complicated to duplicate.
The easiest way to make a photo ID card is by subscribing to a specialized provider, like InstantCard. Online services are available that offer ID cards as a service, and thereby help you avoid the necessity of acquiring costly hardware and software to make an ID card.
