CARD PRINTING, LAMINATING & ENCODING
The DTC5500LMX all-in-one Direct-to-
Card (DTC®) printing and lamination
solution delivers on the promise of reliable,
high-volume production at an ultra-low
cost-per-card. This enables cost-conscious
organizations to routinely issue secure,
durable cards in high volumes without
sacrificing quality.
Designed to meet the needs of medium
and large corporations, universities, and
government and healthcare facilities,
the DTC5500LMX includes dual card
hoppers and supports high-capacity, full-
color ribbon and laminate consumables
-- reducing costs while maximizing
productivity. The solution also utilizes an
innovative wasteless lamination technology
that can cut high-volume laminate
materials costs by up to 50%.
The DTC5500LMX oers hands-free dual-
side, one-material lamination but without
the dual-side price. When only a single
material is desired for both the front and
back of a card, this new standard feature
allows for convenient dual-side lamination
without manual intervention. A dual-side,
two-material option is also available.
The DTC5500LMX features HID Global’s
new iON™ technology, delivering the
shortest and fastest pre-heat cycle in the
industry. In addition, the solution can reach
optimal operating temperature in just 45
seconds, minimizing critical downtime on
large volume projects.
Utilizing HID Global’s new wasteless
PolyGuard™ LMX overlaminates, the
DTC5500LMX extends card life by
providing the highest level of card
coverage protection in the industry. From
creating photo IDs and government
credentials, to gift and loyalty cards,
the DTC5500LMX’s patch placement
consistency and rounded laminate corners
ensure sharp, professional-looking cards
every time.
Stylish, yet dependable and robust under
the most challenging printing conditions,
the easy-to-operate DTC5500LMX sets
a new standard in quality, cost-saving,
high-volume card printing/encoding and
lamination.
