FAQ
What printing technologies does the HID HDP5000 support?
The HDP5000 utilizes both dye sublimation and thermal transfer printing technologies. Dye sublimation produces vibrant, photographic-quality color output by transferring dye to the card surface, while thermal transfer creates durable monochrome prints using heat-activated ribbon. This dual capability allows organizations to choose between full-color identification cards or cost-effective black-and-white credentials based on their specific needs.
How fast does this card printer produce color ID cards?
The HDP5000 has a maximum color print speed of 46 seconds per card when printing double-sided with full-color images. This speed represents the complete cycle time for a standard CR-80 card, including both front and back printing. The actual throughput may vary slightly depending on image complexity and card type, but this specification provides a reliable benchmark for planning card production workflows.
What connectivity options are available for network sharing?
The printer offers both USB and Ethernet connectivity options. The USB port allows direct connection to a single computer for standalone operation, while the built-in Ethernet interface enables network sharing across multiple users. This dual connectivity approach provides deployment flexibility, allowing organizations to either dedicate the printer to a specific workstation or share it across a department via standard network infrastructure.
What types of cards can this printer handle?
The HDP5000 supports eight different card types: proximity cards, magnetic stripe cards, ABS cards, laminated PVC cards, PET cards, PETG cards, smart cards, and optical media cards. All compatible cards use the standard CR-80 size of 2.13 inches by 3.37 inches (53.97 mm x 85.60 mm). This broad media compatibility allows the printer to accommodate various identification and access control technologies within a single device.
What is the print resolution of this card printer?
The HDP5000 delivers a maximum print resolution of 300 dots per inch (dpi). This resolution produces sharp text, clear barcodes, and detailed photographs on ID cards. The 300 dpi specification ensures that printed elements remain legible and professional-looking, which is particularly important for security features, organizational logos, and identification photographs that require precise reproduction.
What warranty coverage does HID provide for this printer?
HID backs the HDP5000 with a 3-year limited warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and component failures under normal operating conditions. The 3-year coverage period provides extended protection compared to many card printers in this category, offering organizations greater confidence in their investment and reducing long-term ownership costs through comprehensive manufacturer support.
What print, scan, copy, or multifunction capability is listed?
the specifications are intended to help buyers confirm fit, compatibility, and expected day-to-day operation. In practical terms, the best reading of this product comes from how its hardware, connectivity, and deployment details work together.
What sheet capacity, media size, or paper handling detail is listed?
2.13" (53.97 mm) x 3.37" (85.60 mm) - CR-80 Card.
