  • Take Card Printing and Low-cost Lamination to the Next Level

    Built on proven direct-to-card technology for every need – from vibrant and durable photo ID cards to multi-functional, high security applications – the DTC5500LMX delivers on the promise of high-volume, ultra-low costper-card printing and lamination.


    iON™ Technology - Unprecedented System Uptime and Lamination Speed

    Unprecedented System Uptime and Lamination Speed Unlike other printer/laminators, the DTC5500LMX is ready to laminate in just seconds with HID Global’s patent-pending new iON™ technology, significantly reducing wait times. Other lamination products can take up to five minutes to initially heat up; they also consume energy to maintain the necessary lamination temperature, even when not laminating cards. With iON technology, the DTC5500LMX saves considerable energy since its lamination roller is only on and consuming energy while laminating cards. 


    High Durability Cards at a Fraction of the Cost

    The DTC5500LMX utilizes HID Global’s innovative wasteless lamination technology, eliminating the need for the standard carrier film and take-up core included in most lamination consumables on the market today. The advanced wasteless lamination technology can substantially reduce high volume laminate materials costs by as much as 50%. Utilizing the wasteless PolyGuard™ LMX overlaminates, DTC5500LMX lamination extends the life of your cards by providing the highest level of card coverage protection available. Whether you need multi-function smart cards, highly secure government credentials, or gift and loyalty cards, the DTC5500LMX consistently produces sharp, professional-looking cards, every time. In addition, the DTC5500LMX laminate coverage increases card durability for credentials that will last. PolyGuard™ LMX overlaminates are available in three options: clear, holographic and custom holographic for even greater security.
