It is like nothing you have seen before for issuing ID cards, gift and loyalty cards, membership cards, hotel room keys and more. The SP35 card printer gives you fast print speeds, superb image quality and simple operation at a value price. Good looks and a compact size make the printer a welcomed addition to any desktop. If you recognize how plastic cards can benefit your operation, but have been waiting for printers to come down in price, size and complexity, your moment has arrived.

Excellent productivity from a small footprint
The SP35 card printer personalizes up to 120 full-color cards and up to 500 one-color cards per hour. Despite its fast operation, this attractive printer weighs less than nine pounds and is easily transportable, letting you print cards in confined workspaces. A standard USB connection makes installations fast and simple at any location.

Superb, edge-to-edge imaging
The SP35 card printer leverages Datacard’s exclusive Advanced Imaging Technology™ to produce vivid, life-like full- or one-color photos, graphics and text across a card’s entire surface. The technology uses optimized print ribbons and user-adjustable controls to yield smooth, uniform solid backgrounds, improved color matching with image capture devices, enhanced bar code printing and sharp reproduction of edges and fine text.

Optional magnetic stripe and smart card capabilities
In addition to standard bar code printing, the SP35 card printer gives you optional magnetic stripe and integrated smart card capabilities, including contactless smart cards, with a simple field upgrade. These technologies can make your cards compatible with access control and other automated systems across your enterprise, creating new opportunities to increase security and efficiency. You can also purchase multiple printers now, knowing you can always upgrade to magnetic stripes and smart cards in the future.

So simple to use, so affordable to own
The SP35 card printer is designed so you can begin using its robust features immediately. A “smart” printer driver provides all the information you need on-screen, including message prompts, recovery instructions, color image previews and Online Help. The SP35 card printer driver is available for the popular Windows® 98, 2000, Me and XP operating systems. Quick-change supplies, operator-replaceable printheads, front-facing input and output hoppers and continuous card cleaning help maximize uptime and ensure a low cost of ownership.

Extensive warranty coverage
Datacard backs the SP35 card printer with aggressive printer and printhead warranties. Standard printer coverage includes 18 months of standard depot service on all parts and labor.

Exclusive ribbons maximize printer performance
The SP35 card printer features Datacard® proprietary ribbons designed specifically for the SP35 card printer. When the printer recognizes that a Datacard® ribbon is installed, all enhanced product features are enabled and successful card printing can begin. The printer will only print color images when Datacard® proprietary color ribbons are installed. Datacard is your exclusive source for proprietary ribbons for the SP35 card printer.
