Improved Performance and Reliability

  • High-level performance – With increased card throughput and greater Ethernet speed than its HDP5000-series predecessors, the HDP5000e features an advanced electronics platform for faster, more precise printing. This ensures crisper text, more vivid imagery, and efficient handling of high-volume print jobs.
  • Exceptional reliability – Designed for durability, the HDP5000e features reinforced connection points and a streamlined module attachment, reducing common issues like card jams and misalignment. Its enhanced connectivity protects USB, Ethernet, and power cables for reliable performance.

The user-friendly SmartScreen™ OLED interface provides clear notifications and step-by-step prompts for setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The built-in Workbench™ diagnostic utility, including the Color Assist tool, allows users to manage everything from a single printer driver download. Maintenance is hassle-free, with tool-free access to the card path, main board, and film and ribbon drawers.

Comprehensive Security

The HDP5000e’s resin scramble data protection conceals printed information, making used ribbon panels indecipherable. It also includes AES-256 encryption, UV printing support, and optional locks for enhanced security.

Reliable, Secure, and Versatile

  • 10% faster throughput – Prints up to 133 cards per hour.
  • SmartScreen™ LCD – Provides real-time status updates.
  • Enhanced security – AES-256 encryption and resin ribbon erase.
  • Durable, tamper-evident prints – HDP film adds protection without lamination.

Exceptional Reliability

With no printhead contact with card surfaces, the HDP5000e prevents damage, ensuring long-term performance. Its lifetime printhead warranty reflects its durability. High-Definition Printing® creates long-lasting, tamper-resistant cards by embedding an HDP film layer, making counterfeiting nearly impossible.
