Entrust Datacard Sigma DS2 Duplex ID Card Printer

The Entrust Sigma DS2 Duplex ID Card Printer is a powerful dual-sided direct-to-card printer built for organizations that require secure, high-quality ID issuance with expanded card design flexibility and scalable functionality. As part of the Entrust Sigma series, the DS2 Duplex combines modern usability, cloud-ready connectivity, and advanced security technologies to support evolving employee badge, student ID, visitor management, and access credential programs.

Using dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer technology, the printer produces vibrant, professional-quality credentials at 300 dpi resolution with sharp text, detailed graphics, and reliable photo reproduction. Dual-sided printing allows organizations to maximize available card space by printing barcodes, terms and conditions, schedules, branding, security elements, or additional credential information on the back of the card without sacrificing front-side design quality.

The Sigma DS2 Duplex is designed specifically for connected issuance environments and supports both cloud-based and on-premise workflows. Its mobile-accessible dashboard allows administrators to monitor printer status, manage supplies, update firmware, and simplify printer administration across locations. Security is a major focus of the Sigma platform, with encrypted data transfer, secure boot protection, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology helping safeguard sensitive credential information throughout the printing process.

Compared to entry-level desktop printers, the DS2 Duplex provides greater modular flexibility and scalability. Organizations can expand capabilities over time through encoding upgrades, optional Wi-Fi connectivity, and optional inline lamination modules for enhanced card durability and security.
