Nobody likes to be overworked, and your card printer is no exception. Printing cards non-stop can make it overheat, leading to all sorts of no-good, very bad printer problems. The solution? Give that hardworking machine a break every now and then.

Just like you, your printer needs a little downtime to cool off and stay in prime condition. And hey, if you're worried about those productivity numbers, remember that a broken printer is a whole lot less productive than a rested one.

There's nothing worse than being in the groove of printing cards only to run out of supplies. Bummer, right? That's why planning ahead is a game-changer. Keeping an eye on your supply levels and ordering refills before they run dry means you'll never have to hit the pause button on productivity.
