Elevate your card issuance with the HID HDP5000 Desktop Dye Sublimation/Thermal Transfer Printer. This versatile, network-ready printer is engineered for superior print quality, reliability, and security, delivering vibrant color IDs and tamper-resistant cards with every run. Built to handle demanding environments—from corporate campuses to universities and government facilities—the HDP5000 combines High Definition Printing technology with flexible encoding options to produce professional-grade photo ID cards, access badges, student IDs, and membership cards. Whether you’re issuing single or batches of cards, this desktop printer is designed to streamline workflows, minimize reprints, and extend card life through robust materials and intelligent design. With its fast Ethernet connection and USB interface, you can integrate the HDP5000 into existing networks and workstations with ease, reducing downtime and accelerating card issuance across teams.

  • Unparalleled print quality with High Definition Printing (HDP): The HDP5000 uses advanced dye-sublimation and thermal transfer technology to render photo-realistic images, sharp text, and precise color shading. With HDP, you get smooth gradients, natural skin tones, and crisp microtext—even on cards with embedded electronics or magnetic stripes. This technology minimizes color banding and produces durable prints that resist fading over time, ensuring your IDs retain their professional appearance in daily use.
  • Enhanced durability and security for every card: Designed for high-traffic environments, the HDP5000 supports durable card construction through optional lamination and overlay technology. Laminates add an extra layer of protection against wear, UV exposure, and daily handling, significantly extending card life. Combined with secure print features and precise card encoding options, your issued credentials stay legible, tamper-evident, and resistant to everyday abuse.
  • Flexible encoding options to fit your badge ecosystem: The HDP5000 is compatible with a range of encoding solutions, including magnetic stripe, and both contact and contactless smart card encoders, when installed as an optional module. This flexibility means you can issue smart IDs that integrate with access control systems, campus libraries, or payment platforms. Encoding capabilities are designed to be integrated into your production workflow without sacrificing print speed or image fidelity, helping you keep up with demand while maintaining security standards.
  • Network-ready performance with USB convenience: Equipped with Fast Ethernet and USB interfaces, the HDP5000 integrates seamlessly into your IT environment. Network connectivity enables centralized management, remote job submission, and scalable issuance for multiple departments, while USB ensures quick, direct printing from individual workstations. This combination supports both small-scale operations and larger deployments, delivering dependable performance across diverse use cases.
  • Versatile, user-friendly operation for faster issuance: The HDP5000 is built to support a wide range of card sizes and applications, from standard ISO CR80 employee badges to more complex card layouts. Its straightforward ribbon loading, intuitive driver software, and simple maintenance routines reduce downtime and training requirements. You’ll appreciate quick color changes, minimal setup time, and reliable print consistency that keeps your card program on track even during peak issuance periods.

Strong and Great for Treats, but Heavier Than Expected
Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
This is a very durable and well-made chew toy with good overall quality. The material is thick rubber and holds up well to chewing. It also works very well for holding treats, which stay in place securely. The main drawback is the weight. My dog is about 30 pounds, and even though this is a smaller version, it is still fairly heavy. She tends to use it mainly to get the treats out and then loses interest afterward. What I like: Very durable material Works great for holding treats Good bounce and quality construction Cute design Things to be aware of: Heavier than expected Some treats may be difficult to insert Dogs may lose interest once treats are gone Overall: This is a solid treat-based toy that is built well, but the weight may limit how much some dogs interact with it beyond treat use.

Extremely tough!
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
These are seriously so much better (and cheaper) than any other supposedly "strong/durable" type toy like this. We have 70lb very strong chewers and they chew through everything. Can not have stuffies. They do eventually chew through but it seriously takes awhile. Especially in comparison to other brands. I will say it says "recommended for dogs under 35lbs" but I also work for houses where I recommended these for their dogs which were smaller and they wouldn't chew on because too tough. But they also accidentally bought the large which is what I buy my big dogs. So the large is GREAT for big dogs. If you have a dog under 35lbs I'd get the size small. Also .... says you can stuff treats. You really can't. Which my dogs don't need. They just love to chew on. I call it their bubble gum because when they FINALLY get a chunk off(which again takes awhile.... as in over a week) they will fling the pieces into the air and chew on like a piece of bubble gum lol... they love it! I don't notice a difference in breath or anything but I don't use the toothpaste either. I just bought to see if tough and they are!! And again price is clearly so much better. I hate spending $20+ on a toy they destroy in a day.

Beware if your dog likes to chew
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
It’s super cute and my dog loved it, but it didn’t last very long. My dog started peeling off pieces of it and eating it within three hours of play. If you have a dog that takes it easy on the toys I would recommend this one. Otherwise I recommend passing because there’s no way it’s safe for them to be swallowing these pieces.

Lasted pretty long for my aggressive chewer
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Right away I was excited with this product because of the smell, texture and thickness. Smells minty fresh which does help with breath smell. The texture is great, had smooth areas and rigid areas all while being soft and durable. The product is pretty thick, which I needed for my Pit-Bull. She doesn’t chew much but, when she decides to she is 110% in and dedicated to destroying that item. She chews through most things in less than a day. This product however lasted years before I started to notice damage. It is one of her favorite toys. She liked it so much I bought two, one for the house and one for the car for road trips. It’s the perfect toy to keep a chewer distracted inside a car, along side a deer antler, which also helps with dental hygiene. She gets dental hygiene compliments every trip to the Vet. We use multiple different things to help with her teeth and breathe but, I think this toy contributes the most to her healthy teeth. I call it a toy because she plays with it all the time. Definitely will keep buying long as they keep making it. This product is a must for all dogs, it’s almost perfect for my Pit-Bull

Currently surviving a SUPER CHEWER!
Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
Welcomed a pomeranian/terrier mix to the family recently. Although he is small he is very capable of tearing things apart! He has destroyed many, many types and brands of toys. When he grew tired of destroying those he turned to objects in my house, walls, furniture, railing etc! I've tried different brands and textures and this is one of only 2 brands he hasn't outright destroyed! He's had this toy for almost a month now and it has come out of this time almost completely unscathed! You'll notice there's a little damage to one of the hands and top of the head but hes managed to destroy toys in an hour or less, so I consider this a big win and will absolutely replace with the same product when the time comes! There's a hole, I think for treats. I haven't used that. It also has a smell, almost like baby powder. In any event, absolutely worth the price which I found to be great to begin with. My dog loves it, and me and my house are soo glad he's chewing on this! If you have a super chewer (I'd never heard of that) I strongly suggest this toy. They also have larger ones for bigger breeds!
