Elevate your card issuance with the HID HDP5000 Desktop Dye Sublimation/Thermal Transfer Printer. This versatile, network-ready printer is engineered for superior print quality, reliability, and security, delivering vibrant color IDs and tamper-resistant cards with every run. Built to handle demanding environments—from corporate campuses to universities and government facilities—the HDP5000 combines High Definition Printing technology with flexible encoding options to produce professional-grade photo ID cards, access badges, student IDs, and membership cards. Whether you’re issuing single or batches of cards, this desktop printer is designed to streamline workflows, minimize reprints, and extend card life through robust materials and intelligent design. With its fast Ethernet connection and USB interface, you can integrate the HDP5000 into existing networks and workstations with ease, reducing downtime and accelerating card issuance across teams.

  • Unparalleled print quality with High Definition Printing (HDP): The HDP5000 uses advanced dye-sublimation and thermal transfer technology to render photo-realistic images, sharp text, and precise color shading. With HDP, you get smooth gradients, natural skin tones, and crisp microtext—even on cards with embedded electronics or magnetic stripes. This technology minimizes color banding and produces durable prints that resist fading over time, ensuring your IDs retain their professional appearance in daily use.
  • Enhanced durability and security for every card: Designed for high-traffic environments, the HDP5000 supports durable card construction through optional lamination and overlay technology. Laminates add an extra layer of protection against wear, UV exposure, and daily handling, significantly extending card life. Combined with secure print features and precise card encoding options, your issued credentials stay legible, tamper-evident, and resistant to everyday abuse.
  • Flexible encoding options to fit your badge ecosystem: The HDP5000 is compatible with a range of encoding solutions, including magnetic stripe, and both contact and contactless smart card encoders, when installed as an optional module. This flexibility means you can issue smart IDs that integrate with access control systems, campus libraries, or payment platforms. Encoding capabilities are designed to be integrated into your production workflow without sacrificing print speed or image fidelity, helping you keep up with demand while maintaining security standards.
  • Network-ready performance with USB convenience: Equipped with Fast Ethernet and USB interfaces, the HDP5000 integrates seamlessly into your IT environment. Network connectivity enables centralized management, remote job submission, and scalable issuance for multiple departments, while USB ensures quick, direct printing from individual workstations. This combination supports both small-scale operations and larger deployments, delivering dependable performance across diverse use cases.
  • Versatile, user-friendly operation for faster issuance: The HDP5000 is built to support a wide range of card sizes and applications, from standard ISO CR80 employee badges to more complex card layouts. Its straightforward ribbon loading, intuitive driver software, and simple maintenance routines reduce downtime and training requirements. You’ll appreciate quick color changes, minimal setup time, and reliable print consistency that keeps your card program on track even during peak issuance periods.

  • Power on the device and connect it to your computer or network using the USB cable for direct printing or the Ethernet port for networked issuance
  • Install the latest drivers and software from HID Global's official website or the provided installation media; follow the on-screen prompts to complete the driver setup
  • Load the appropriate color ribbon (YMCKO) and the optional overlay/laminate film if your card program requires added durability; verify proper ribbon orientation to ensure clean color transfer
  • Load blank CR80 cards into the input tray and adjust the card thickness guides; perform a printer calibration to ensure color accuracy and alignment
  • Configure printer settings in the driver or card issuance software, selecting card size, ribbon type, and any encoding options (if installed) before running a test card
  • If encoding modules are used (magnetic stripe, contact, or contactless smart cards), install the module and configure the encoder settings in the software; run a test to verify encoding integrity and data formatting

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the HID HDP5000 best used for? A: It is ideal for issuing professional photo IDs, employee badges, student IDs, access control cards, and membership cards. Its color accuracy, durability, and security features make it suitable for organizations that require reliable, high-quality card issuance.
  • Q: Does the HDP5000 support dual-sided printing? A: Yes. When configured with the appropriate modules, the HDP5000 can print on both sides of a card, enabling full-color, back-to-back badges in a single workflow, which improves efficiency and presentation.

Good sturdy balls
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
My dogs love balls! Unfortunately, they tend to chew them up very quickly. My Belgium Malinois chews on this all the time, and it has held up pretty well. Good option for chewers

Fetch Perfection
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
If you’re anything like me, fetch is the ultimate game with your furry companion. The Chuckit! Dog Fetch Ball Medley has taken our playtime to the next level with its variety and durability. This 3-pack of medium-sized, ultra-rugged balls is perfect for endless games of fetch without worrying about wear and tear. I love how each ball has a unique texture and color, keeping my dog engaged and excited every time. The medium size is just right for energetic dogs, allowing for long throws and big leaps. Plus, the rugged design means these balls can withstand even the most enthusiastic chewers and rough play sessions, making them a great investment for active pets. However, the vibrant colors can sometimes make them easy to lose in green grass or sandy beaches, but a good game of hide-and-seek with your dog is a small price to pay for such fantastic fetch balls. Additionally, while they’re durable, no ball is completely indestructible, so occasional replacements might be necessary for the most aggressive players. Overall, the Chuckit! Dog Fetch Ball Medley is a must-have for any dog owner looking to enhance their playtime. They’re fun, durable, and keep both you and your dog entertained for hours. A solid 5-star rating for their quality and variety, with a tiny star lost to their occasionally elusive colors.

great ball!
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
My pitbull LOVES these. She is a power chewer and tough on balls and toys and tends to go through them insanely quick. She is still on her first ball out of this pack and its been at least two months. It is a little small for her mouth but she doesn’t seem to mind, as it has quickly become one of her favorites. Not a loud ball and it doesn’t usually make that wet chewy noise when shes going to town on it which is huge for me😂😂 Safe for my pittie so i’d imagine a smaller dog would be just fine.

Border Collie Approved: Easy to Clean, Durable, and Great Bounce
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 2
These are the best balls out there for dogs. These fit great in the chuck-it ball launcher, which we need to wear out my border collie. They fit her mouth properly and, most importantly, do not absorb all the spit or water after a good rain. They are quick to clean off and have good weight so you can let them fly! Furthermore, they bounce well, which is perfect for my dog that likes to catch them on a bounce. The ball is a strong rubber, so should not be easy to chew up. I've used these for years, and the only time I've had to replace them is when one gets lost in the hay field. I highly suggest these as replacements for the common tennis balls.
