FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What printer do I need for my event?
This will depend on what you want to print onto your badges on the day of your event. Our thermal tickets are designed to be printed on the Zebra range of printers, namely the ZD621 and GK420D. These printers will print your data and text in a single colour. Our Inkjet tickets are designed to be printed on the Epson C3500 and C4000 range of printers, which both allow for full-colour on the day printing.
What’s the difference between Inkjet and Direct Thermal?
Direct thermal technology uses a heat-sensitive coating to create clear, high-quality text or images from a single-colour printer, offering a simple and efficient printing solution without the need for ink or toner. Our Inkjet material is specially coated to allow a CMYK print process in full colour.
What size badges will fit through my printer?
Typically, our on-site printers will accept any badge width up to a 4” wide. The most common size for an event badge is 4” x 12”, which folds to 4” x 6” double sided.
What are the artwork requirements for when I submit my design?
You can view our artwork requirements on the downloadable, editable templates on each product page.
Will you be able to design a badge for me?
Yes this is possible! We would just need a good understanding of your event, your branding guidelines, what is required to be printed on the badge and the logo(s) that you wish to feature. Email us at: BadgeWave@soabar.co.uk
