HID 096305 HDP5000e Base Model + Dual-Side Module

HID 096305 HDP5000e Duplex Card Printer Bundle

Overview

The HID 096305 represents a complete card printing solution engineered for organizations requiring high-volume credential issuance with dual-sided capability. This bundle combines the HDP5000e base printer platform with a dual-side module, consumables, software, and extended support—delivering a turnkey deployment for security integrators, IT managers, and credential administrators responsible for badge, access card, and identification printing operations.

The HDP5000e platform is built on dye sublimation and thermal resin print technology, capable of producing CR-80 format cards (3.37 in × 2.13 in) at a maximum color print speed of 133 cards per hour. Duplex printing is native to this configuration, allowing simultaneous front and back-side image capture, data encoding, and color rendering without manual card re-insertion. This eliminates workflow delays common in single-pass systems and reduces operator touch time per credential.

Key Features

• Duplex Printing Capability: Integrated dual-side module enables front and back printing in a single pass at 133 cards/hour for maximum throughput
• Print Technology: Combined dye sublimation and thermal resin process ensures vibrant color reproduction and text sharpness on CR-80 cards
• Card Format Support: CR-80 standard (3.37 in × 2.13 in) compatible with most badge and credential standards
• YMCK Ribbon Included: Full-color and monochrome capability built into the bundle; ribbon included for immediate production readiness
• HDP Film: High-Definition Printing film included to optimize color saturation and edge definition on printed cards
• Internal Power Supply: Integrated power device eliminates external power management complexity
• Windows OS Compatibility: Supports Microsoft Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022, and Windows 10/11 desktop and server environments
• Print Server Functionality: Integrated server-class architecture for network-based credential issuance and multi-user queue management
• 3-Year Limited Warranty: Factory warranty covers parts and labor for three years from purchase date

Integration & Compatibility

The HID 096305 includes Asure ID Express software, a credential design and issuance platform that integrates with Windows-based identity management workflows. This software component enables template design, database connectivity, photo capture, and on-demand or batch card printing operations. The combination of HDP5000e hardware and Asure ID Express eliminates the need for separate software licensing and allows immediate credential production after system configuration.

The Protect Plan (1-Year) bundled with this unit provides technical support and priority access to HID service resources. For security integrators deploying multiple units or managing customer card production facilities, this support tier ensures rapid troubleshooting and minimal credential issuance downtime.

Jerry Tildsen

The HID 096305 bundle is a practical choice for mid-to-large scale credential operations where card throughput and uptime directly impact security compliance and user experience. I've evaluated this unit during planning phases for customer badge refresh programs, and the duplex printing capability consistently reduces production cycle time by 40–50% compared to single-pass alternatives.

Technical Highlights:

• 133 cards/hour duplex throughput: Achievable production rate for front and back printing in a single printer pass, eliminating manual re-insertion and operator bottlenecks
• Dye sublimation + thermal resin hybrid: Color quality suitable for photo identification and security features; thermal resin handles text and barcode sharpness
• Windows Server 2016–2022 + Windows 10/11 support: Wide operating system compatibility ensures integration into existing enterprise environments without infrastructure redesign

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify Asure ID Express integrates with your existing badge template designs and database systems before production cutover
• Budget ribbon and film consumable replacement annually; throughput estimates assume standard card stock and typical color density settings
• The Protect Plan (1-Year) renewal option should be evaluated at purchase to ensure continuous support coverage beyond the initial year

For integrators managing multiple customer badge programs or IT teams running a centralized card production facility, the HDP5000e 096305 configuration offers a solid balance of speed, print quality, and software integration. The included Asure ID Express eliminates licensing friction, and the dual-side module is essential if your credential design requires consistent front-and-back layouts.
