ID card printers like (Evolis, HID FARGO, Zebra Technologies, Magicard, Team Nisca, Entrust, and others) use CMYK ribbons to print in full color; make sure the images you will print are in high resolution with CMYK color setting so that the color doesn't shift. 300 dpi is also highly recommended so your images and text appear sharp and clean. And at last, save your image in a format with no compression, like TIFF or PNG.

Always use vector ID card software like IDpack Cloud for maximum printing quality. Using SVG technology, IDC will always provide the best resolution using vector graphics. The quality will always be perfect whether you print 300 or 600 DPI. You can create amazing designs with Adobe Illustrator, save them as SVG files, and import them into IDpack Cloud.
