Fargo HDP5000 Single-Sided ID Printer
Print Striking, Technology-Rich Cards
The HDP5000e uses retransfer technology—the most advanced card-printing technology available. Retransfer printers print images directly onto HDP film, then fuse the entire image directly onto the card surface, avoiding the misalignment that can occur with direct-to-card (DTC) printers which print images in multiple passes. Retransfer printing also lets you perform over-the-edge printing of the card and up until the contact chip on smart cards, getting you cards that reflect your professional image.
Never Worry About Forged or Fraying Cards
Cards produced by the HDP5000e are virtually forgery-resistant, since its high print quality is almost impossible to replicate. What’s more, the photo gets totally destroyed when someone attempts to peel it apart. These cards are also more durable than your standard ID card, since the HDP film adds a layer of protection. For even added durability and security, choose optional one- and two-sided holographic lamination.
Print up to 500 Full-Color Cards—Fast
The HDP5000e supports batch printing and can produce a full-color card in 24 seconds - that’s 150 cards per hour. It prints continuously, with high-capacity ribbon options producing up to 500 prints in one batch. An optional dual-card input hopper for multiple card types lets you load double as many cards at once, so you don’t need to babysit the printer as it works.
Enjoy Headache-Free Printing
With retransfer printing, the printhead prints directly onto a film, so it never comes into contact with card surfaces. This leaves the printhead in excellent condition, reducing downtime and making sure you don’t have to be busy with broken parts. In fact, the printhead comes with a lifetime warranty. A three-year warranty on the printer itself guarantees you continuous productivity.
Upgrade Easily as Your Needs Grow
The HDP5000e is a modular printer, so you can easily add security or performance features as your organization grows. All upgrades can be easily performed at your office, making the HDP5000e suitable for a wide range of applications.
Optional Encoding
Add security and functionality to your cards by easily upgrading to enable smart card, magnetic stripe card and proximity card encoding.
Optional Dual-Sided Printing
Print additional information - such as a bar code or digital signature - on the back of the card.
Optional Card-laminating
Increase card durability and add a virtually forgery-resistant layer of protection to your cards by laminating them.
Optional Locking Card-hoppers
Protect your blank and printed/encoded cards from theft.
Plus, Choose from Multiple Ribbon Options
Which ribbon option is best for you? Choose high-capacity ribbon options for printing larger batches, half-panel ribbon for cheaper and faster dual-sided printing, and ECO ribbon for economical and eco-friendly ribbon refills.
