Key Features:
- Retransfer Printing (HDP): Unlike direct-to-card printing, the HDP5000 prints the image onto a clear film, which is then heat-transferred onto the card surface. This results in:
- Superior Print Quality: Over-the-edge printing capability that covers the entire card surface, including uneven surfaces like those on smart cards. It produces vibrant, high-resolution images (300 dpi).
- Enhanced Durability: A layer of HDP film protects the printed image from wear, tear, and fading.
- Increased Security: Tamper-evident cards; if someone tries to peel the layers apart, the image is destroyed.
- Versatility:
- Single or Dual-Sided Printing: Options for printing on one or both sides of the card.
- Lamination: Optional single or dual-sided lamination module for added durability and security (using overlaminates, including holographic options).
- Encoding Options: Field-upgradeable modules for various encoding technologies:
- Magnetic stripe encoding (HiCo/LoCo)
- Smart card encoding (contact and contactless, including HID iCLASS, MIFARE, etc.)
- Prox card encoding (HID read-only)
- Reliability: Known for its robust design and durable printhead (often with a lifetime warranty).
- Ease of Use: Cartridge-based system for easy loading of ribbons and films. SmartScreen™ LCD control panel for user-friendly operation and status updates.
- Security Features:
- Password protection
- AES-256 encryption for data security
- Resin scramble data protection to make used ribbon panels unreadable.
- Optional door and cartridge locks.
