The printer is capable of printing at a rate of 6 seconds per card in black and white and at 24 seconds per card in full color with two black resin panels. It can hold up to 100 cards (30 mil thick) in the input hopper and 30 cards (30 mil thick) in the output hopper. The integrated iCLASS SE encoder enables your printer to be compatible with the HID secure identity systems.
