The Entrust Sigma ID3 Simplex ID Card Printer is a powerful enterprise-class direct-to-card printer designed for organizations that require secure, scalable, and high-performance ID issuance. Positioned as one of the most advanced desktop printers in the Entrust Sigma lineup, the ID3 combines professional print quality, cloud-ready connectivity, and extensive modular expansion options for demanding credential programs.
Using dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer technology, the Sigma ID3 produces vibrant, edge-to-edge credentials at 300 dpi resolution with exceptional image clarity, sharp text, and reliable photo reproduction. The printer is ideal for employee badges, student IDs, government credentials, healthcare IDs, visitor badges, and secure access control cards where durability, flexibility, and security are critical.
The Sigma ID3 was specifically designed for today’s connected issuance environments and supports both cloud-based and on-premise workflows. Administrators can manage printer status, firmware updates, supply monitoring, and maintenance functions through the Sigma mobile-accessible dashboard, simplifying day-to-day operation across distributed environments.
Security is a core advantage of the Sigma platform. The ID3 includes advanced protections such as encrypted data transmission, secure boot processes, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology to help protect sensitive credential data throughout the issuance process. Additional security features such as UV printing, luster printing, tactile impression capability, and holographic lamination options help organizations create more secure and tamper-resistant credentials.
Compared to lower-tier desktop printers, the Sigma ID3 offers significantly greater scalability and modular flexibility. Organizations can expand functionality through optional multi-hopper configurations, advanced encoding technologies, tactile impression modules, inline lamination, and optional Wi-Fi connectivity as issuance needs evolve.
