HID 094740 HDP6600 Dual Side Printer with Dual Hopper
Overview
The HID 094740 represents a professional-grade card printing solution engineered for organizations requiring high-throughput credential production across access control, identification, and secure badge applications. The HDP6600 platform delivers dual-sided printing capability paired with dual hopper functionality, enabling sustained production workflows without interruption. Built for security integrators and IT departments managing multi-facility deployments, this system consolidates card issuance operations into a single platform while maintaining strict encoding and personalization standards.
Key Features
- Dual-Sided Printing: Produce full-color credentials on both card surfaces in a single pass, reducing production time and increasing throughput for high-volume issuance operations.
- Dual Hopper Configuration: Maintain separate card input and output queues, eliminating manual card handling between print cycles and enabling continuous production runs.
- Professional Card Production: Compatible with standard CR-80 credentials for access control, employee ID, visitor badges, and secure identification applications.
- Reliable Media Handling: Engineered for consistent card feed and delivery across extended production sessions, critical for enterprise-scale issuance programs.
- Security Integration Ready: Designed for integration into access control and identity management workflows where credential integrity and personalization accuracy are non-negotiable.
- Enterprise Workflow Support: Supports batch processing and sequential card issuance, essential for organizations managing hundreds or thousands of active credentials.
Integration & Compatibility
The HID 094740 HDP6600 integrates into existing credential management ecosystems and access control platforms. Organizations standardized on HID identity systems benefit from native driver support and workflow compatibility. The printer accepts encoded and blank card stocks, enabling personalization of credentials with magnetic stripe, proximity, smart card, or hybrid encoding based on your access control infrastructure. This flexibility supports mixed-credential environments common in large enterprises and multi-tenant facilities.
Operational Deployment
Suitable for centralized issuance centers, corporate security departments, and managed print service environments, the 094740 reduces credential turnaround time and operational overhead. The dual hopper design minimizes attended production time, allowing batch jobs to run with minimal intervention. Integration with identity and access management platforms enables automated card design, encoding, and issuance workflows that enforce security policies consistently across the organization.

I've specified the HID 094740 in several large-scale access control rollouts, and the dual hopper architecture fundamentally changes how integrators approach credential lifecycle management. The ability to print both sides simultaneously while maintaining separate input/output streams eliminates the bottleneck that typically constrains issuance operations in multi-building deployments.
Technical Highlights:
- Dual-Sided Output: Single-pass two-color printing reduces per-card production time, essential when managing thousands of credentials across distributed facilities.
- Dual Hopper Efficiency: Separate card input and output queues enable sustained batch operations without manual intervention between cycles, reducing labor cost per credential issued.
Deployment Considerations:
- Centralize issuance operations at a regional hub rather than distributing printers across multiple locations; the throughput and dual-hopper capability justify consolidation.
- Ensure your identity management system supports batch card design and encoding automation—manual card preparation negates the 094740's efficiency gains.
For integrators managing enterprise credential issuance, the HID 094740 bridges the gap between departmental printers and industrial-scale systems. It's a reliable workhorse for organizations serious about credential security and production efficiency.
