Datacard is the name on most of the card issuance India's banks and large institutions have run for decades — the company is now Entrust, and the printers carry both names. This is the range specified where issuance is a controlled process rather than a task: locking hoppers, reject hoppers that keep a spoiled card out of the good stack, and multi-hoppers that hold several card types at once for an issuing desk that prints staff, visitor and contractor cards from one queue.
Entrust Datacard SD260
SD260
The Datacard most Indian institutions mean when they say "the Datacard" — a desktop direct-to-card printer built to be run every day by somebody who is not a printer operator. The monochrome throughput is the striking figure: over 800 cards an hour, which makes it the machine to put on a visitor desk that issues disposable passes all day.

Entrust Datacard CD800
CD800
A step up from the SD260 in both speed and print quality, and the model to specify when one desk issues several kinds of card. The six-compartment multi-hopper is the reason: staff, visitor, contractor and replacement stock all loaded at once, with the printer pulling from the right compartment per job instead of somebody swapping cards between print runs.

Entrust Sigma DS2
Sigma DS2
The current Sigma generation, and the one to quote where issuance is audited rather than merely done. Dual-sided colour, a reject hopper that separates spoiled cards automatically, and hopper options that take it to 200 cards in. If a card programme has a compliance requirement attached to it, this is the printer that satisfies the process side of it as well as the printing.

Sigma DS3
The DS2 mechanism behind a six-compartment multi-hopper — six 125-card hoppers, 750 cards loaded at once. This is a printer for a central issuing office running several card types continuously, where the constraint is not print speed but how often somebody has to walk over and reload it.
