The P310 is ideal for applications requiring production of full-color plastic cards. Printing single-sided, personalized plastic cards has never been simpler, faster, or easier. Use P310 Card Printers to print:

• Loyalty and membership cards
• Employee and visitor badges
• Student ID and access control cards

You can issue personalized cards on the spot, because the P310 prints sharp, readable bar codes, ID photos, graphics and text, edge-to-edge, in seconds. Its space-saving, small footprint design is the perfect choice for desktop and countertop applications.

The P310 is truly user-friendly. Its easy-to-load, low maintenance design makes it simple for anyone to operate. Green, yellow and red LED indicators provide easy-to-understand printer status. Printer ribbon synchronization is automatic, eliminating the need for operator intervention. An easy to change, self-cleaning cartridge thoroughly removes dust before printing minimizing missing dots and color registration problems.

All Eltron card printers are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards.
