Datacard SP55 Plus monochrome card printer

K-12 schools and small business operations can benefit from the utility and economy of this one-color, two-sided printer. Create photo ID cards, retail gift or loyalty cards, durable business cards and more at high speeds, but without the high price! The monochrome SP55 Plus produces 450 two-sided cards in an hour, or up to 1,000 one-sided cards. That's at least twice the speed of color printing. Unlike the SP35 Plus monochrome printer, Ethernet connectivity is built in to the SP55 so that you can print from anywhere on your network. This tool ensures that the ability to print isn't contingent on one computer OR one person.

If you want the capability to store more information on your cards than a barcode can support, the Datacard SP55 Plus offers field-installable magnetic stripe and smart card encoding units. Add one on to your printer purchase, or you can buy one later, when your needs change. YOu may also purchase a lock for your card input hopper so that only authorized parties can unlock the printer to load blank cards. And with the SP55 Plus' USB interface, you'll be up and printing in minutes. The Datacard SP55 Plus: giving you loads of options without the heavy cost.
