Credit Card Imprinter Comparison Chart

 

The imprinter is a great tool for businesses to capture their customer’s credit card information and reduce chargebacks. But not all imprinters are made the same. As a matter of fact, the flatbed imprinters have been nicknamed “Knuckle Busters” as they do take some muscle to use. Please use the chart below as a guide to help you decide which imprinter would fit your needs best.


Ratings range from 1-5, with 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest.
