Description

Built on 20 years of proven direct-to-card printing expertise, the HID FARGO DTC1500 Single-Sided ID Card Printer (Model: 51400 / SKU: SRX51400) is an industrial-grade desktop solution engineered for government ID projects, universities, K-12 schools, healthcare facilities, and small-to-medium businesses. Utilizing high-performance dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer technology, this heavy-duty printer diffuses ink directly onto PVC or Composite stock at a crisp 300 dpi continuous tone resolution with full edge-to-edge printing. Optimized for high-volume card production, the DTC1500 offers a lower cost of high-capacity consumables and distinctive data security features to issue highly secure credentials at a fraction of the cost without sacrificing quality.

Executive & Technical Justifications

• Cost-Effective Custom Watermarking: Protects credentials against cloning via a built-in customized transparent security feature. This technology applies a custom logo, symbol, or text as a permanent watermark within the printed card's overlay panel, increasing card security without requiring expensive holographic overlaminates or foil cards.
• Firmware-Level Resin Scramble Protection: Prevents identity theft and post-print data leaks with a specialized driver setting that "erases" resin-printed data from used ribbons. It obscures text by printing the K panel multiple times with slight structural shifts between each pass, ensuring sensitive personal information cannot be read from the spent ribbon.
• Industrial Output Speed & Volumetric Capacity: Enhances administrative throughput by generating full-color (YMCKO) cards in 16 seconds and sharp monochrome (K) cards in just 6 seconds. The hardware features a standard 100-card input hopper to facilitate hands-free batch processing.
• Flexible Modular Field Scalability: Features a future-proof, adaptable platform architecture. The base single-sided framework can be converted into an automatic dual-sided duplexing machine using an electronic RFID upgrade card, or upgraded with modular magnetic stripe and smart card encoders on demand.
• Versatile Media Thickness Recognition: Accommodates extensive credential variations by supporting standard CR-80 and adhesive-backed CR-79 cards, including polished PVC, composite polyester, optical memory cards, and eco-friendly rewrite media.
