Spec Sheet

The versatility of the DTC4500 is unsurpassed from loyalty cards to sophisticated access cards with
embedded electronics. Empowered by an extremely robust and highly-reliable print engine, this high-volume
printer delivers speed, power and versatility rolled into one.
High capacity ribbons enable the DTC4500 to print twice as many full color cards than most printers before
the ribbon has to be changed, providing continuous high quality-card printing and encoding.
The DTC4500 offers field-upgradable options for migration to higher levels of security in
the future:
w Optional card lamination for applying overlaminates to produce high-secure cards that resist forgery and
increase card durability; and unique, dual-sided simultaneous lamination also saves time with increased
throughput.
w Dual-sided printing module provides more space for card holder information and security features like
duplicate photo and digital-signature.
w Technology encoding modules encode data for magnetic stripe, proximity, contact and/or contactless
technology cards, such as iCLASS
®
, for access control or other applications.
The DTC4500 combines a high level of security with the convenience to easily print what you
need, including:
w Built-in security with password-protected printer operation and fluorescent panel printing for a cost
effective and dynamic increase in card security.
w SmartScreen
™
graphical display provides easy-to-follow prompts to be sure you’ll always know the status
of the printer.
w Standard dual-input card hopper for increased capacity or management of multiple card types.
w Easy integration into existing IT infrastructures through the built-in Ethernet and USB connection, allowing
for centralized or remote ID card issuance.
w Industry’s first inline card printing and technology card encoding with one connection using USB or
Ethernet connectivity.
w Fully compatible with Asure ID
®
card personalization software for badge design, database management
and technology card encoding.
