Key Advantages

The high resolution print capability delivers sharp and professional card images. It offers easy connectivity via USB, simplifying setup in office environments.

The maximum print speed is relatively moderate, potentially impacting throughput in high volume scenarios. Replacement consumables specific to the Dtc series may be costly compared to generic alternatives. The printer design is dated as newer models offer enhanced features and efficiency. Firmware updates and driver support are limited as the device is considered legacy equipment.
