Printer Options & Upgrades

- Dual-sided printing

Built-in Digital Shredding
To protect your cardholder and business data, the 550 printer includes our new digital shredding security feature.
With digital shredding, the data sent to your card printer for each print job is fragmented after use so your printer cannot be used to see what has been printed and access your cardholder information. This is incredibly important for organizations that need to meet data security standards.
PRO 550 Printer Warranty
Manufactured to the highest standard, the AlphaCard PRO 550 ID card printer is backed by a three year warranty.
