Now, there is software available which will automatically adjust the photo to ensure it is within the correct specifications. ID Photos Pro 8 has the ability to produce ID and Passport photos automatically, with a wide range of templates, allowing users to provide passport photos to a wide client base. Software that does this is called Automatic Biometric Software. The whole process is a lot simpler and easier with this software – it only takes 15 seconds to produce a passport photo which is ready to print.

Some examples of ID and Passport Photo Printers…

When looking at producing Passport and ID photos, it’s important to get the right equipment for the job. Some systems will have a low initial cost but a high print cost. These models are suitable for low volume situations.

There is also a specifically designed system for producing ID and Passport prints called the Mitsubishi ID70. This comes with a Kiosk with Mitsubishi Automatic Biometric Software and works in the same way as ID Photos Pro 8. You also receive a Mitsubishi CP-D70DW-U which is designed to work with the ID70 Kiosk. Set-up costs for this are quite high, however, the consumables are cheaper than the HiTi S420. Like the S420, you can import your images on to the Kiosk via a memory card or by tethering your camera via a USB cable.


Second to None!

“I first used System Insight to help me with  my first big event. Although I have practised as a professional photographer for several years, I was new to on-site printing technology. I was impressed with their help and advice from the onset and found their pricing structure very reasonable. The printer was delivered on time and in excellent condition and was then collected as arranged. It was a very simple piece of kit to operate. If I did have any questions their technicial help desk was readily available. I would not hesitate to use System Insight for my next event and recommend them 100%”

If the printer you are looking for is not listed then it maybe has been discontinued. Print Media for discontinued printers is usually available for years to come.
