{"product_id":"entrust-sigma-ds1-id-card-printer","title":"Entrust Sigma DS1 ID Card Printer","description":"\u003ch6\u003eA practical starting point for professional ID cards\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Entrust Sigma DS1 is a single-sided card printer for organisations producing staff badges, membership cards, student IDs and visitor passes. It brings colour photographs, names and branding together on the front of a card, helping teams issue a consistent design whenever a new person joins. Entrust now also lists this model under the Datacard DS1 name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eDesigned around everyday card issuance\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear printer dashboard helps you keep track of printer status and cleaning needs. The automatic feeder supports batch work, while the desktop format suits a reception or administrative workspace. Keep a supply of the correct cards and ribbon nearby so replacing an ID does not become a lengthy task.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eSecurity beyond the printed photograph\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eEncryption, a Trusted Platform Module and Secure Boot help protect the printer and its data. These features complement your own controls for card designs, user permissions and personal information. Printing a card does not by itself activate an access credential: electronic encoding depends on the card technology, compatible hardware and your organisation’s system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003ePlan your software and supplies together\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DS1 connects through USB. Choose card-design software that supports your computer and the information you need on each badge. Consider whether you need a simple design or a database-linked workflow before buying a software licence. Cards and ribbon are separate choices; contact Lesar if you need help matching a consumable to your intended artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan it print both sides automatically? The DS1 is a single-sided printer; consider a dual-sided DS2 configuration for automatic reverse-side printing. Does it include an encoder or Wi-Fi? These are optional capabilities, not included in this standard listing. Can it reuse cards? Its rewrite function requires suitable rewritable cards and a compatible workflow; ordinary PVC cards cannot simply be erased and reused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eHelp choosing your setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eTell us how many cards you expect to issue, which information must appear on them and whether the cards need to work with an existing access-control system. We can help you compare printer and supply choices. Detailed speeds, card dimensions and connection information are kept in the specifications tab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatible supplies\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/datacard-sigma-ds1-printer-ribbons\"\u003eBrowse ribbons for this printer\u003c\/a\u003e.
