Description

The HID Fargo DTC1500 Dual-Sided ID Card Printer is an enterprise-grade desktop badging solution built on 20 years of proven direct-to-card printing expertise. Custom-configured with a built-in RFID smart card encoder, this high-security printer allows government agencies, universities, healthcare networks, and corporate offices to routinely issue advanced technology credentials at a fraction of the cost. Operating at a sharp 300 dpi resolution, it combines high-capacity, low-cost consumables with automated double-sided printing, custom anti-counterfeiting watermarks, and driver-level data erasure to deliver uncompromised security and efficiency.

Key Benefits

• Integrated RFID Smart Card Encoding: Outfitted with a high-performance encoder to program data onto 125 kHz (HID Prox) and 13.56 MHz (iCLASS Seos, MIFARE DESFire EV1) proximity cards and chips in a single automated printing pass.
• Cost-Efficient Visual Security: Protect your credentials from forgery with a built-in, customizable transparent watermark (logos, text, or symbols) applied directly within the overlay panel without any extra investment in specialized laminates.
• Resin Scramble Data Protection: Safeguard user privacy with an automated driver setting that obfuscates resin-printed data on the spent ribbon by repeating the black panel with subtle alignment shifts, leaving personal information completely illegible.
• Automated Dual-Sided Production: Automatically prints vibrant full-color graphics on the front of a card and crisp text or barcodes on the back in a single automated pass without manual card flipping.
• Eco-Friendly Rewritable Printing: Supports specialized rewritable card substrates, allowing you to cleanly erase and reuse temporary visitor badges, parking passes, or temporary student IDs up to hundreds of times.
