FARGO HDP5000 RETRANSFER ID CARD PRINTER (SINGLE-SIDED) [P-FG-89600]

Is the Fargo HDP5000 right for you?

The Fargo HDP5000 is a retransfer printer, ideal for advanced ID card printing. As a retransfer printer, the HDP5000 is great for printing complex designs containing block colours, printing large volumes of cards (say, over 500) and for printing on smart cards. So if that sounds familiar, then the HDP5000 may be just what you’re looking for. Alternatively, if you need to print a very basic design onto a lower number of plain plastic cards, not access control cards, the Fargo DTC1250e ID card printer might be a better fit.

Create the cards of dreams.

Wonder what the HDP stands for in HDP5000? It’s High-Definition Printing® - and that’s exactly what you’ll get. The printer provides superior print quality and it’s HDP technology delivers sharp photo-like images and crisp, detailed text. Cards will be durable, too, with a layer of HDP film added between the card image and the outside world. As a retransfer printer, the HDP5000 also provides full printing coverage of the card, so the end result is similar to cards produced with large-scale professional presses. In a nutshell, the HDP5000 will print the cards you’ve always dreamed of.

Setup? We’ve made that easy.

Set up is that simple, we did it ourselves. You can watch our how-to set-up video here. The printer’s simple design and operating system makes using the HDP5000 easy. Ribbon changes, cleaning cycles – it all requires minimal training. You’ll be swapping and changing ribbons in mere minutes as both the print ribbon and film are inserted in easy-to-load cartridges.

Issue cards in less than 60.

The HDP5000 takes around 29 seconds to print a full colour card using a YMCK retransfer film. Please note that adding additional transfer films such as single or dual-sided lamination will result in a longer print speed, but still less than 60 seconds. if you think that’s a little longer than your standard direct-to-card printer, don’t forget the HDP5000 is doing a lot more work – you’ll be able to tell that by the difference in quality.

Say goodbye to cloned cards.

Taking ID and plastic card security one step further, the HDP5000 is the first of its kind to help prevent card cloning and duplication. Card security features include a holographic overlaminate option, which lets users apply a custom holographic image to the front of an ID card, which can include a business logo or image. This visual security feature makes it easier than ever to spot cloned cards.

No card design? We’ll take care of that.
