Entrust Datacard Sigma DS2 Simplex ID Card Printer

The Entrust Sigma DS2 Simplex ID Card Printer is a next-generation direct-to-card printer designed for organizations that need secure, high-quality single-sided ID issuance with the flexibility to expand capabilities over time. Built as part of the Entrust Sigma series, the DS2 delivers a modern printing experience with cloud-ready connectivity, advanced security features, and scalable upgrade options for evolving credential programs.

Using dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer technology, the DS2 produces sharp text, vibrant graphics, and professional-quality credentials at 300 dpi resolution. Its reliable print engine and intuitive operation make it ideal for employee badges, student IDs, visitor credentials, membership cards, and access control cards in corporate, education, healthcare, and government environments.

The Sigma DS2 is designed for today’s connected workplaces, supporting both cloud-based and on-premise card issuance workflows. Its mobile-accessible dashboard allows administrators to monitor printer status, manage supplies, update firmware, and simplify printer management across locations. Security remains a key advantage of the Sigma platform, with encrypted data transfer, secure boot processes, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology helping protect sensitive credential data throughout the issuance process.

Compared to entry-level desktop printers, the DS2 offers enhanced scalability and modular flexibility. Organizations can start with a simplex configuration and expand functionality later through duplex printing upgrades, encoding additions, and optional connectivity enhancements as card issuance requirements evolve.
