Featuring a lightweight construction, the printer can fit into small workspaces. It can even be stored on a shelf or under a counter when not in use.

Its industry-first rotating LCD panel provides easy-to-read printer status messages and diagnostic prompts. With its all-in-one removable ribbon cartridge with cleaning roller, the printer requires very little maintenance.

This out-of-the box solution is comprised of a YMCKO ribbon, PVC cards, and entry level ID card software. Despite its small size, it still offers security for your jobs, including a security port and microtext capability.
