Javelin DNA PRO – Single Sided ID Card Printer

Description

Javelin DNA PRO — Medium-Volume Production Without Compromises

The Javelin DNA PRO is purpose-built for organisations that have moved beyond occasional card printing but don’t yet need the scale or cost of industrial central issuance systems. It’s the optimal choice for businesses, universities, healthcare facilities, and membership organisations printing between 1,000 and 5,000 cards per year — enough volume that manual feeding becomes impractical, but not so much that you need a £10,000+ production printer.

With a 100-card input hopper and 60-card output hopper, the DNA PRO handles batch printing automatically. Load your cards once, press print, and walk away. The printer feeds, prints, and ejects cards continuously without operator intervention. This is the fundamental difference between the DNA and DNA PRO: automation that saves hours of staff time when printing large runs.

Network Connectivity as Standard

Unlike the entry-level DNA, the DNA PRO includes built-in Ethernet connectivity alongside USB. This means multiple users can send print jobs to the same printer over your network without physically connecting a USB cable each time. Reception can print visitor badges, HR can print employee IDs, and facilities can print access cards — all from the same shared printer. Optional Wi-Fi connectivity adds even more flexibility for environments where running Ethernet cables isn’t practical.

Production Speed That Keeps Pace

The DNA PRO prints up to 200 full-colour single-sided cards per hour using YMCKO ribbons, or up to 800 monochrome cards per hour for text-only badges. These aren’t theoretical maximums — they’re realistic sustained speeds when the hopper is loaded and the printer is running continuous batches. For a university printing 300 student IDs during orientation week, the DNA PRO completes the job in under 90 minutes of unattended operation.

Internal USB Hub for Peripheral Devices

The DNA PRO includes an internal USB hub that allows you to connect peripheral devices directly to the printer — webcams for live photo capture, memory sticks for database imports, or barcode scanners for card verification. This turns the printer into a complete card issuance workstation rather than just a printing device.

Field-Upgradable Investment Protection

Start with single-sided printing today, then add dual-sided printing, magnetic stripe encoding, or contactless smart card modules as your access control system matures. These upgrades install on-site without downtime or returning the printer. Your initial investment continues delivering value for years as your organisation’s requirements change.
