HID Global DTC4500E Single-Sided Card Printer

The HID Global DTC4500E is a single-sided card printer built for dye sublimation and thermal transfer colour printing. It produces full-colour identification cards for employee badges, access control credentials or membership cards. The unit includes a software CD for driver installation and print management. It is designed for office or reception environments issuing moderate volumes of plastic cards.

Suited for single-sided issuance.

This printer suits organisations that print on one side of the card only, such as visitor management, loyalty programmes or student IDs. Buyers who require simultaneous front-and-back printing in a single pass should look at dual-sided models. It is not intended for high-security laminating or laser engraving workflows. The device meets UL 60950, CSA C22.2, CE and FCC Class A compliance.

Single-sided print engine

The defining specification is the single-sided print engine, which limits output to one card face per pass. This constraint determines whether the throughput and workflow match the issuance volume. The printer has been listed since 2019 and carries the manufacturer part number 055000.
