Specification Sheet
High quality meets aordability.
The HDP5600 is one of the most economically
priced reverse transfer printers on the market
today and oers the most aordable 600 dpi
solution available, making the HDP5600 an ideal
solution for a broad range of organizations. In
addition, half-panel ribbons are available to use in
your HDP5600 printer, further reducing your cost
per image by as much as 30 percent.
For increased protection, highly durable HDP
film is optional and provides even greater
abrasion resistance. Using new and advanced
materials, this HDP film is three times more
durable than standard re-transfer films and can
extend traditional card life by two to four years
– all without requiring additional investments
in separate lamination hardware and protective
card overlaminates. By forgoing these additional
products, organizations can reduce the cost of
card personalization equipment by up to 45
percent and materials by 25 percent or more.
Only with the HDP5600 are you ensured the
broadest options for keeping cost-per-card at a
minimum, lowering your total cost of ownership.
Greater card security and durability.
Cards produced by high definition printing
solutions are more secure and durable than other
types of cards. They are inherently tamper-
evident — if a counterfeiter tries to peel apart the
layers, the image essentially destroys itself. They
also resist wear and tear by putting a durable
layer of HDP film between the card image and the
outside world.
For enhanced durability and security, the highly
versatile HDP5600 also provides the ability to add
a holographic overlaminate or holographic HDP
film to the front of an ID card. An overlaminate
on both sides doubles the protection – and
the HDP5600 laminates both sides of a card
simultaneously in one ecient pass.
Take card printing to the next level.
Only one card printer oers 5th generation
retransfer technology for every need – from sharp
and vibrant photo ID cards to multi-functional,
high-security applications, the HDP5600 delivers
on the promise of ultimate image quality and
printer reliability, all at an aordable price point.

** Print speed indicates an approximate print speed and is measured from the time a card drops into the output hopper to the time the next card drops into the
output hopper. Print speeds do not include encoding time or the time needed for the PC to process the image. Process time is dependent on the size
of the file, print resolution, the CPU, amount of RAM and the amount of available resources at the time of the print.

Government IDs
Whether it is for drivers’
licenses, national
IDs, or employee and
contractor badges,
government agencies
demand reliable and
secure card issuance. The HDP5600 is a
versatile, easy-to-use and cost-eective
printer/encoder for producing highly secure,
durable government IDs. Its high definition
printing capabilities produce cards that
are resistant to wear, tear and tampering.
Optional Visual Security Solutions™ materials
provide added fraud and counterfeit
deterrence.
Corporate IDs
From large corporations
to small businesses, the
HDP5600 is streamlining
issuance of multi-
functional employee
ID cards used for visual
identification, time and attendance, access
control and payment functions. In a single-
step, inline process, the printer personalizes
smart cards with text and color, and writes
pre-programmed access card data to the
card. The printer’s inline processing saves
time, speeds ID issuance, and eectively
reduces data entry errors that occur in the
common two-step card personalization and
data encoding process.
Student IDs
Yesterday’s student
photo ID is today’s
multi-function card
on school and college
campuses around the
world. A single card can
be used for physical access to buildings,
logical access to networks, library checkout
and other services, as well as cashless and
debit card transactions on- and o-campus.
The HDP5600 makes on-the-spot issuance
of these multi-functional student IDs fast
and ecient. For IDs that experience a lot of
wear and tear, robust, secure and tamper-
resistant high definition printing technology
is the right choice.
The next generation
of smart card applications.
With the HDP5600, you can print in high
definition and encode multifunction cards
for a variety of applications:
