{"product_id":"entrust-sigma-ds2-id-card-printer","title":"Entrust Sigma DS2 ID Card Printer","description":"\u003ch6\u003eChoose the layout your ID cards need\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Entrust Sigma DS2 offers single-sided and dual-sided configurations for staff, student, membership and visitor cards. Choose single-sided printing when all of your information fits on the front, or select dual-sided printing to place instructions, contact details or a barcode on the reverse. Entrust also markets this model as the Datacard DS2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eA connected workspace for card production\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eUSB and Ethernet let you plan where the printer will sit and how it connects to your computers. The printer dashboard provides status and cleaning information to help operators manage routine tasks. Before deployment, check your network arrangements and the version of card-design software you intend to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eProtect your issuance workflow\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eEncryption, Secure Boot and a Trusted Platform Module support the security of the printer. Your card programme still needs appropriate control of personal data, artwork and user access. If you need to encode an access card, confirm the exact credential technology and software requirements; the printing configuration alone does not include an encoder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eBuy the configuration rather than just the model name\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single-sided and dual-sided options are separate configurations with different prices. Select the version needed for your card design before ordering. Optional wireless and encoding equipment must be specified separately. The image of the dashboard illustrates printer management; a phone or tablet is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eWill the single-sided option automatically print the back? No: choose the dual-sided configuration for that workflow. Are ribbon, cards and software bundled? This is a printer listing; select those items separately or ask us to help assemble a suitable package. Can I use the same ribbon as an older Datacard printer? Match the full ribbon reference to DS2 compatibility rather than relying on the brand name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMake the first print run easier\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrepare a sample card design and confirm your card material before choosing supplies. Think about whether the reverse needs full colour or only black text, as this affects ribbon selection. Lesar can help you compare the options; performance and card-handling details are listed separately in the specifications tab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatible supplies\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/datacard-sigma-ds2-printer-ribbons\"\u003eBrowse ribbons for this printer\u003c\/a\u003e.
