DASCOM Americas (www.dascomamericas.com), a worldwide leader in printers and equipment for multi-part forms printing, thermal printing, and card identification issuance systems today announced a new industrial laminator for its ID card printer line.

The DC-5100 Laminator is designed for fast, efficient performance in the most challenging environments.  The DC-5100 gives users exceptional laminating speeds, throughput, and workload capability for heavy operation in rigorous environments.

Offering feature highlights including Direct Thermal Transfer Lamination, standard USB 2.0 or Ethernet Connectivity, 3 levels of Laminate Security, RFID protection of Laminates, thin Over-Laminates in Clear or with Holographs, and Easy, Intuitive Operation, the DC-5100 is designed for stand-alone use or fully-integrated with DASCOM’s DC-7600 Retransfer Printer.

According to Juan Vidaurrazaga, DASCOM Americas Vice President of Sales: “The DC-5100 is a critical enhancement for our card issuance printer systems.  In a world where security is a paramount concern for organizations of all types and sizes, the DC-5100 is well-matched to add protection to any printed CR-80 card.  The laminator is easy-to-use, requires minimal training and user intervention during performance. It also provides a high level of flexibility for the user.  For instance, the user can define and adjust laminate speed, position, and volume, and even print either single-sided or dual-sided cards.  A backlit display means information is easy to read and menu settings can easily be saved via the laminator’s own distinct set-up tool.  Finally, the price is something that users will like as well since the DC-5100 offers a value-price with features included that are normally found only on much more expensive units.”

The DC-5100 is distributed through a national network of value-added card and security identification system distributors who represent the “best of breed” in ID issuance solutions.  Each distributor brings experience in providing complete and total card identification system solutions including distinct and proprietary software to match the needs of users in a wide range of industries and applications.
