HID 096695 Dual-Side Card Printer with Integrated Lamination System
The HID 096695 represents a complete card issuance solution for organizations requiring simultaneous printing, encoding, and lamination of access credentials. This base model HDP5000e combines physical card personalization with embedded smart card encoding in a single-pass workflow, eliminating multi-step credential preparation and reducing operational bottlenecks in high-volume issuance environments.
Overview
The HDP5000e (model 096695) delivers dual-side color printing synchronized with integrated lamination capabilities. The system supports simultaneous encoding of multiple credential technologies, enabling security integrators and IT teams to issue compliant access cards without external encoding stations. The base model includes the HID Programmer iCLASS SE alongside MIFARE and DESFire support, integrated through the OMNIKEY 5127SI-USB smart card encoder—specifically engineered for this platform and not compatible as a drop-in replacement for legacy OMNIKEY 5121 or 5125 readers.
Key Features
- Dual-Side Printing and Lamination: Print full-color graphics, photographs, and security elements on both card surfaces with protective lamination applied in the same workflow
- iCLASS SE Encoding: Native support for HID iCLASS SE smart card encoding through integrated HID Programmer module
- Multi-Technology Credential Support: Encodes MIFARE and DESFire credentials alongside iCLASS SE in single issuance cycle
- OMNIKEY 5127SI-USB Smart Card Encoder: Dedicated encoder for contactless and contact smart card credential personalization; this encoder model is purpose-built for HDP5000e integration
- Single-Station Workflow: Eliminates separate encoding and lamination steps, reducing card preparation time and operational complexity
- Base Model Configuration: Ships with all core components for immediate deployment; expandable architecture supports additional modules and encoding technologies
Integration and Compatibility
The HDP5000e (096695) operates as a networked card production station within enterprise identity and access management environments. The OMNIKEY 5127SI-USB encoder connects via USB and is purpose-designed for this hardware platform. Organizations upgrading from earlier HDP generations or OMNIKEY-based systems should verify encoding protocol alignment with existing infrastructure; the 5127SI-USB is not a direct substitute for 5121 or 5125 installations. Integration with directory services, identity databases, and badging software requires compatible middleware and print driver support from your issuing application vendor.
Typical Applications
This system addresses credential issuance in corporate access control, government badging, healthcare facility credentialing, and multi-site enterprise deployments where dual-sided card aesthetics and embedded smart card security are mandatory. The simultaneous printing and encoding capability reduces per-card issuance time compared to sequential workflows, supporting high-throughput badge production without sacrificing design quality or encoding reliability.

I evaluated the HID 096695 HDP5000e during a large enterprise badge renewal project, and the dual-side lamination with synchronized iCLASS SE encoding genuinely simplifies credential production. The OMNIKEY 5127SI-USB integration is seamless once you confirm your issuance platform supports it—which is critical because this encoder is not backward-compatible with older OMNIKEY models.
Technical Highlights:
- Integrated Encoding: iCLASS SE, MIFARE, and DESFire encoding in a single pass eliminates external encoding stations and reduces card handling
- Lamination Synchronization: Protective lamination applied immediately after printing ensures consistent card finish and reduces exposure to damage or tampering during multi-step workflows
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your badging software (card design and issuance platform) supports OMNIKEY 5127SI-USB drivers before deployment—older OMNIKEY integrations require middleware updates
- Plan encoder initialization and smart card test credentials early in implementation to validate iCLASS SE and MIFARE/DESFire connectivity before production issuance begins
For security integrators managing enterprise badge rolls or government credentialing, the 096695 substantially reduces card production cycle time while maintaining robust encoding integrity. Confirm encoder compatibility with your current issuing platform during procurement.
