The Polaroid P4500S features a unique, state-of-the-art configuration that allows a user to upgrade a single-sided P4500S to a dual-sided card printer at any time by placing a specially coded dye film into the printer - no need for additional hardware or tools. It is a seamless upgrade performed by customers which takes seconds and enables dual-sided printing immediately. The dye film is simply an encoded YMCKOK printer ribbon which is programmed to enable the duplexer that already exists in the printer. Purchase a single-sided P4500S now if dual-sided printing might be a future requirement. The P4500S also provides visual security for printed cards with its SecureShield™ Overlay anti-copying watermark. Unlike expensive holographic laminates, the Polaroid SecureShield™ Overlay does not add printing cost. Choose from (5) security designs to protect your cards or turn off the security feature if desired.
