Key Printer Benefits
Anti-Jam Card Handling
The SD Series Family features an all-new, exclusive card picking design, TruePick card
handling technology, to help ensure extremely reliable card picking. Datacard Group
understands that customers rely on their printer to perform in busy times. With TruePick card
handling, customers can have confidence that their print jobs will be processed smoothly and
efficiently, every time.
Flexible Connectivity
Select whichever connectivity suits the application – SD260 and SD360 printers come
standard with both Ethernet and USB connectivity. Standard Ethernet provides flexibility for
users to fit the printer into their environment at a value price. The Ethernet port features an
activity light to show the port is actively communicating. The SD160 printer comes standard
with USB connectivity.
Improved Print Quality
Optimized printing technology between the print ribbon, printhead and printing algorithms
provides a smooth, consistent printing result. This means that the color consistency across the
surface of the card remains consistent from the leading to trailing edge, as the card is
transported smoothly along the card path. In addition, the printer is designed to maintain an
even printing consistency, so the density of the first card printed looks the same as the last
card in a batch print job.
