It has reliable durability for moderate print volumes, making it cost-effective over time. Additionally, its consumables such as ribbons and cards are widely available, ensuring minimal downtime.
Limitations
The printer supports only single-sided card printing, which may not be suitable for advanced ID applications requiring dual-side information. It has a relatively slow print speed compared to newer models, impacting high-volume printing efficiency. The 300 dpi resolution, while adequate, is lower than current high-definition printers, limiting ultra-fine detail. It lacks Ethernet connectivity options, restricting network-based printing solutions. Consumables specific to this model may become harder to source due to its age and discontinued status. Firmware and software updates are no longer provided, which can affect compatibility with modern operating systems.
