Entrust Datacard Sigma ID3 Duplex ID Card Printer
The Entrust Datacard Sigma ID3 Duplex ID Card Printer is a high-performance enterprise direct-to-card printer engineered for organizations that require secure, scalable, and professional dual-sided credential issuance. As one of the most advanced desktop printers in the Entrust Sigma lineup, the ID3 Duplex combines premium print quality, cloud-ready connectivity, and extensive modular expansion capabilities for demanding ID programs across corporate, education, healthcare, government, and secure access control environments.
Using dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer technology, the Sigma ID3 Duplex produces vibrant, edge-to-edge credentials at 300 dpi resolution with sharp text, detailed graphics, and excellent photo reproduction. Dual-sided printing allows organizations to maximize available card space by adding barcodes, schedules, branding, terms and conditions, security features, or additional credential information to the back of the card without sacrificing front-side design quality.
The Sigma ID3 Duplex was designed specifically for connected issuance environments and supports both cloud-based and on-premise workflows. Administrators can remotely monitor printer status, manage supplies, update firmware, and simplify device management through the Sigma mobile-accessible dashboard, helping organizations maintain efficient and secure credential issuance operations across locations.
Security is a major advantage of the Sigma platform. The ID3 Duplex includes encrypted data transfer, secure boot protection, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology to help protect sensitive credential data throughout the issuance process. Additional advanced security features such as UV printing, luster printing, tactile impression capability, and holographic lamination options allow organizations to create highly secure and tamper-resistant credentials.
Compared to standard desktop ID printers, the Sigma ID3 Duplex offers significantly greater scalability and modular flexibility. Organizations can expand functionality through optional inline lamination modules, multi-hopper configurations, tactile impression modules, advanced encoding technologies, and optional Wi-Fi connectivity to support complex credentialing environments and high-volume issuance needs.
