Key Advantages

The Entrust Datacard DS2 Duplex offers reliable double-sided card printing, reducing manual handling and increasing productivity. It delivers high-resolution prints with vibrant colors and sharp text, ensuring professional card quality. Compact design allows it to fit conveniently in office spaces without occupying much footprint. The printer supports a wide range of card substrates, enhancing its versatility. Integration with Entrust's security features improves card personalization and fraud prevention. Additionally, it offers stable and consistent performance suitable for medium-volume card issuance environments.

Limitations

While the DS2 Duplex excels in duplex card printing, its throughput may be limited compared to larger industrial printers, making it less suitable for high-volume operations. The device requires specific ink ribbons and consumables which may be costly or less readily available over time. It lacks wireless connectivity, potentially limiting flexible network placement. Firmware and software updates are dependent on Entrust's support lifecycle, which could affect long-term compatibility. The printer is primarily designed for card printing and may not support standard paper document printing. Replacement parts and maintenance could be challenging due to the device's age and market availability.
