And remember, if you need to place a new order or have any questions, reach out to us nationally at 800.835.7919 .

Preventative maintenance is basically a regular schedule of check-ups and tune-ups for your card printer. Think of it as regular health checks for your machine-it helps catch any potential issues early on before they become real headaches. By addressing the little things consistently, you can prevent the big things, like complete printer meltdowns, from ever happening.

It's not just about fixing things that are broken; it's about keeping them from breaking in the first place. And with our national team of maintenance gurus, we've got your back covered from coast to coast. Our service is as comprehensive as it gets, ensuring that no matter where you're located, sleek, durable cards are just a printing session away.

When you sign up for routine maintenance, you're not just getting peace of mind. You're investing in a suite of benefits that will make your life easier and your wallet happier. With routine checks, you can expect things like improved printer performance, increased printer lifespan, and lower long-term costs since you're avoiding big repairs or replacements caused by neglect.

You'll see a noticeable difference in the quality of your cards, too. Routine checks include calibrations, cleaning of print heads, and updates to the firmware, all of which contribute to that crystal clear, professional look you want your cards to have. It's about giving your cards that extra edge that says "We care about quality."

So, what exactly do we look at during routine maintenance? We're glad you asked! Key components that require regular attention include the print head, the rollers, and the card feed system. Each of these plays a crucial role in delivering those beautiful cards.

Your print head, for instance, needs to be free of debris to prevent imperfections on your cards. Rollers need to be clean and have the right tension to feed cards smoothly. And an unobstructed card feed path is vital to avoid unnecessary jams. We go over each of these components with a fine-tooth comb, so your printer runs as smooth as butter.

Cards are an essential part of your business, so it makes sense to keep the printer that produces them in stellar condition. But life's busy, right?

Like any piece of machinery, card printers have their own way of telling you when something's amiss. Maybe it's making a new, weird noise or the card quality starts to go downhill. Whatever it is, it's important to spot these red flags early.

An extended warranty or service contract can go a long way in giving you extra peace of mind. It's the kind of safety net that makes sure you won't face unexpected expenses if something goes wrong with your printer.

Plastic Card ID offers a variety of options to extend your warranty or enter a service contract tailored to your needs and budget. These can cover parts, labor, and even routine maintenance, depending on the level you choose. Let's work together to figure out what type of coverage makes the most sense for you.

Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to maintaining your card printer. If you and your team know how to properly handle and care for the machine, you're less likely to run into issues down the line.

Our training services aren't just about fixing things; they're about empowering you and your team to maintain your printer day-to-day. We can host on-site sessions or virtual workshops-whatever works best to get you equipped with the know-how you need to keep your printer in tip-top shape.

Just like no two fingerprints are the same, no two businesses have exactly the same printer maintenance needs. Plastic Card ID understands this, which is why we offer customized maintenance solutions tailored to your specific circumstances.

It's all about finding that sweet spot-a maintenance plan that fits like a glove with your printer model, usage patterns, and budget. We're talking about a plan that feels so right, you'll hardly know it's there. Just imagine how smoothly things will run with a maintenance solution that's built just for you, like a custom suit but for your printer.

And the best part? Setting up your customized maintenance solution is a cinch. Give us a ring at 800.835.7919 , and we'll get the ball rolling. Before you know it, you'll have a plan that's as unique as your business, ensuring your printer keeps delivering those perfect cards.

First up, we'll take a look at how much your printer is being used. It makes a big difference in what kind of maintenance plan you'll need. Someone printing a few dozen cards a month is going to have different needs from someone who prints thousands.

Our team will work with you to get a good grasp on your usage and will tailor a plan that keeps your printer from being overworked-and under-protected. More prints mean more care, and we're here to give your machine the TLC it deserves.

Second on the list is your business schedule. We get it; you're busy, and you can't afford to have your printer out of commission when you need it most. Unscheduled maintenance can throw a wrench in your operations, and we want to avoid that at all costs.

We'll work with you to schedule maintenance at a time that's least disruptive to your business. Maybe that's after hours or during a known slow period. We're all about flexibility and making sure our services fit into your world seamlessly.

Let's talk dollars and cents for a moment. Our maintenance packages aren't just about keeping your printer happy; they're also about keeping your budget happy. We offer cost-efficient maintenance options because we believe good maintenance shouldn't break the bank.

Whether it's a one-time tune-up or a regular maintenance schedule, we've got something that will work for you without costing an arm and a leg. We'll find a balance that ensures your printer is cared for without you having to worry about the price tag.

Last but certainly not least, we'll take a gander at what your current warranty covers. Sometimes, warranties can be a bit tricky, and you might not be getting the most out of them. Our team is adept at warranty speak and will help parse out what's what.

Once we've got a clear picture of your warranty coverage, we'll identify any gaps and suggest ways to fill them. It's all about having that extra buffer so that if things do go south, you're not left out in the cold. A thorough warranty analysis is just another way we ensure your maintenance plan is bulletproof.
