Most ID card design software installations are completed within one to two hours remotely. Training typically takes one to two sessions (thirty to sixty minutes each) depending on your team’s familiarity with professional graphic design suites and the complexity of your card design workflows. All ID-All purchases include free unlimited training with a real person – we provide hands-on training covering card design, object manipulation, template creation, database imports and cardholder records management, printer setup and troubleshooting error codes, security features configuration (barcodes, encoding, user access and permissions), and batch print cards plus advanced print settings. Quick Start Wizard features in Entrust Instant ID platforms accelerate learning. EPI Suite Classic includes electronic manuals and USB key serial numbers. Service and support includes follow-up sessions to ensure your team masters photo capture and enhancement, image design tools, face cropping, background removal, and colour and background settings customization. Entrust Instant ID supports Windows ten or eleven with four GB RAM (eight GB recommended) and one GB available storage.

With database-enabled ID card printing software, reprinting is instant. ID-All Standard Edition and above include unlimited internal database records with browse and find functionality. Simply search for the cardholder by name, ID number, or other criteria using lookup existing cardholder records, verify their cardholder records, and click print. The ID card design software pulls all stored data, photos, and card designing objects – no manual re-entry needed. This is one of the biggest time-savers organizations discover after switching from non-database-free ID card software. Replacement card workflows in EPI Suite and Entrust Instant ID software include data preparation validation to prevent duplicate entries. EPI Suite supports multiple ID cards per person, five images per person, and batch create/delete operations. Advanced print settings ensure consistent high-quality results across reprints. Security features like watermarks, barcode encoding, and magnetic encoding remain intact. Card management systems track issuance history for audit trails in secure ID programs. All Avon Security Products clients receive free unlimited technical support for life to assist with reprint workflows.

Avon Security Products offers ID-All Starter Edition at ninety-nine dollars (regularly one hundred seventy-nine dollars) – an entry-level option with basic card design and design tools functionality, including card templates, text, images, date/time counter, graphics library, and one D barcode encoding (codes thirty-nine and one hundred twenty-eight only). It supports an internal database with a maximum of fifty records and one image column. Entrust Instant ID Express was discontinued as of July thirty-first, two thousand twenty-four, but Instant ID Plus, Professional, and Enterprise editions are available with evaluation software for testing. We provide trial versions for most paid ID card printing software so you can test system performance, template selection, barcode encoding, and batch print cards features before committing. EPI Suite Classic and EPI Suite Pro offer robust mid-level and enterprise capabilities. Keep in mind that entry-level software often lacks advanced database connectivity, security features like smart card encoding, or multi-user support, fine for very small card issuance programs under one hundred cards annually, but limiting as you grow. All ID-All purchases include free unlimited training and lifetime tech support regardless of edition.
