Entrust Datacard CR805
This prints ID cards of standard CR80 dimensions. It does overprinting so when designing your image take that in mind (see Administration Guide pg.67 pdf pg.77). Document dimensions should be 2100px X 1344px (3.5in x 2.24in @ 600dpi).
Maintenance
Do not open up the side panel without approval from @erin.
Consumables
The printer consumes ink ribbon and transfer ribbon . Both are not available for purchase from the manufacturer. A pdf of all consumables is in the links section.
Pricing
TL;DR ~$0.70 per duplex card
| Type | Number of Prints | Price |
|---|---|---|
| CMYK | 1000 Simplex | ~$400 |
| CMYK-K | 1000 Duplex | ~$500 |
| Retransfer | 1000 Simplex | ~$100 |
Privacy
This machine uses a transfer ribbon.
A negative image of anything you print is retained inside the machine on the spent ink ribbon.
Do not use this machine to print anything you don't mind leaving inside the machine, and eventually, when the ribbon runs out, the trash.
Printing over Web
You may print cards over web using the cardprinterd server. Access it at http://dma-printserve.local:2273.
No drivers are needed for this web UI. Simply make a PDF and feed it into the HTML form, and the print server will automatically print it using the Windows driver and SumatraPDF.
Determining Orientation
Orientation set on the web UI is passed to SumatraPDF, which is passed straight to the print driver. Most of the time, you should leave this unset, otherwise this may cause issues.
Note: This option was removed on a later version of cardprinterd. The driver already automatically determines the orientation, and setting this only messes that up.
