Overview

The HID HDP5600 is a high-definition retransfer ID card printer designed for secure credential issuance in enterprise and government environments.

It uses a retransfer printing technology that delivers durable, high-resolution images by printing onto the card surface through a dye-sublimation and thermal transfer process.

The printer supports standard CR-80 PVC cards and offers edge-to-edge printing with precise color reproduction and enhanced image quality.

Equipped with a robust cleaning mechanism and automated ribbon replacement, it ensures consistent print output and reduces downtime.

The HDP5600 connects via USB and Ethernet interfaces, supporting integration into networked office environments.

Its user-friendly control panel and security features like Kensington lock compatibility make it suitable for office electronics focused on identification and access control.
