ID cards are an indispensable element of every institution, institution and company where it is necessary to identify individuals or control access to specific places. Over 90% of the systems are based on personalized ID cards which serve both as an identifier and an access key to electronic locks. In case of a one-off necessity of issuing hundreds or thousands of cards, the task may be commissioned to an external company, however such situations do not happen very often. However, what if there is a high employee turnover in our company or there is the need to issue many temporary cards? Printing and coding these cards with the help of external companies would be possible, however, it would generate greater costs, have a negative impact on the execution time and the security of the whole security system. The solution to this problem is a personal printer, which significantly streamlines the process of printing new cards and enables express coding of cards according to personal preferences. These devices should be user-friendly, adapted to the current technological trends and, above all, provide full security by offering a wide range of physical and digital security features.
Simple Smart Secure
All of these requirements are met by the SIGMA series card printers from Entrust. The main idea behind the series is "Simple Secure Smart". This means that each device has been designed in such a way that its operation is intuitive and simple, while at the same time ensuring full data security. The ease-of-use solutions can be seen even when unpacking the product, as the packaging has been designed to be intuitive to open and the whole process of unpacking and starting up the printer should not take more than 5 minutes.
SIGMA DS1
Its main advantage is a combination of compact size, low price, and high quality thermal transfer printing. DS1 is the model with the lowest parameters in comparison with the other members of the SIGMA family. The intuitive front panel signals the need for any necessary user intervention, and the printer itself is extremely easy to operate. Communication with the computer takes place through a standard USB port and a built-in Wi-Fi interface, and installation of the device is extremely simple. This model offers single-sided printing at speeds of up to 175 cards per hour (color printing), at 300 dpi resolution.
SIGMA DS2
Designed for higher volumes in less time. Higher speed than DS1 - up to 225 cards per hour in color single-sided technology, and 140 cards per hour in color double-sided technology. The functionality of the device can be expanded with an additional magnetic stripe card encoder. In addition to the standard USB input and Wi-Fi communication, DS2 offers an additional Ethernet port (LAN).
SIGMA DS3
This is the most powerful model, enabling automatic double-sided printing at the rate of up to 180 cards per hour and an impressive 250 cards per hour for single-sided printing. The device can be upgraded with an enlarged card tray and anti-theft protection. As with the DS2 model, it is possible to expand the printer with additional modules for magnetic stripe coding.
