WHICH FEATURES SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN BUYING AN ENTRUST DATACARD ID CARD PRINTER?
Choose an Entrust Datacard printer by comparing the requirements of your card program:
- Printing sides: Select a single- or dual-sided printer to suit your badge design.
- Printing technology: Sigma DS printers use direct-to-card printing. The CR805 uses retransfer printing for over-the-edge graphics and supported smart-card surfaces.
- Connectivity and encoding: Check USB, Ethernet, optional wireless connectivity and the encoder options on the exact SKU.
- Lamination and tactile features: These require a compatible printer configuration and the appropriate module. A base DS3 printer does not automatically include a laminator.
WHAT TYPES OF CARDS CAN I PRINT WITH ENTRUST DATACARD PRINTERS?
Entrust Datacard printers can personalize employee and student IDs, visitor badges, membership cards and loyalty cards. Dual-sided models can print extra information on the back.
Barcodes can be included in the card design. Magnetic-stripe or smart-card data requires the correct encoder, compatible card stock and software.
An access-control, time-and-attendance or payment application also needs a compatible reader and management system. Printing a card alone does not provide those functions.
