Datacard SP55 Plus two-sided, monochrome card printer

If you could benefit from the additional storage space on the back of an ID card, this economical ID card printer features expeditious one-color printing so that you can put larger, sharper photos on one side of an ID card, with secondary text and graphics on the back side. Or, use your double-sided cards for retail gift cards, membership cards, customer loyalty cards or durable business cards. This printer is ideal for applications that require large numbers of cards quickly, since it prints at the impressive rate of 700 black and white cards per hour.

The Datacard SP55 Plus is also simple to use. With a quick-change ink cartridge and a continuous cleaning roller, routine maintenance only takes a few seconds-- and its audio and visual message prompts take the guesswork out of printer upkeep. Plus, the Datacard SP55 Plus offers optional magnetic stripe and/or smart card encoding for better data storage on your cards. Whether you represent a K-12 school or a retail store, start printing affordable, crisp cards right away with the Datacard SP55 Plus.
