Fargo High
Definition Dual Sided Printer/Encoder with optional Laminator
When
you depend on your ID cards for more than a name and a photo,
depend on the capability and efficiency of the Fargo HDP5000.
Unleash the potential of smart cards.
Access
control. Financial transactions. Biometric
identification. Medical records management. Your
ID card may hang at the end of a lanyard, but that’s
not where its potential ends. Government agencies,
large corporations and financial institutions are all
tapping into the power of ID card technology, from
proximity cards to ultifunction smart cards.
These
card-based applications demand more
capable, durable and secure ID cards than ever
before. That means prox and smart cards produced
in high definition by the Fargo HDP5000 High
Definition Card Printer/Encoder.
Improvements
you’ll see
in every card.
Fargo
introduced High Definition Printing™ (HDP®)
technology in 1999, and we’ve been advancing the technology
ever since. It produces High Definition cards that give you outstanding
print quality over embedded electronics, plus high durability
and security— the
ideal way to produce prox and smart cards.
The HDP5000 printer/encoder
is our fastest, most
efficient HDP model ever, with improvements at every
level. Simpler operation requires only minimal training. Cards, ribbons and
overlaminates now come in cartridges that literally load in a snap. Sharper
image quality and new HDP materials deliver more
impressive cards at a lower cost per card. And faster
printing helps you fly through the biggest
production jobs.
Add
dual-sided durability and security — fast.
Applying
a holographic overlaminate or holographic
HDP Film to the front of an ID card improves its durability and
security. An overlaminate on both sides doubles the protection.
The HDP5000 laminates both sides of a card simultaneously in
one efficient pass. Since the lamination module has no card
flipper, it doesn’t waste time by turning a card over and
laminating it again. Saving a few seconds per card may not sound
like much. But multiplied by a 5,000- or 10,000-card production
run, the savings are substantial.
The beauty of High Definition Printing runs deep.
ID
cards should reflect your organization’s pride, and
the HDP5000 produces ID cards with the highest
image quality available — High Definition cards.
By printing a reverse image on the underside of HDP
Film, then fusing the film to the card surface, the HDP5000 creates
an image quality that looks more
like a crisp glossy photo than an ordinary ID badge.
High
Definition Printing has big advantages beyond
good looks. Printing on film instead of directly on the card
means that the uneven surface of technology cards can’t
affect image quality, or damage print heads. The HDP5000 can
print up to the edge of smart chip contacts, and over-the-edge
of the card.
Cards produced
by High Definition Printing are inherently
more durable and secure than other types of
cards. They resist wear and tear by putting a durable layer
of HDP Film between the card image and the outside world. They’re
also very secure and tamper-evident. If a counterfeiter tries
to peel apart the layers, the image essentially destroys itself.
Build a complete
card identity system.
The HDP5000 serves as the
central component of
a complete card identity system, which includes
software, materials, cameras and accessories.
Software: The
HDP5000 works with Fargo Asure ID® applications, and
all other leading card creation and issuance management software.
It comes with Fargo Workbench,™ a software toolkit for
setup, printer
security, diagnostics and firmware upgrades.
Secure
Materials: The High Definition Printing
materials for the HDP5000 deliver more durability
and fade resistance than previous HDP formulations.
That means fewer card replacements, and lower
cost per card. Fargo Secure Materials let you set the
level of card security, up to high-security custom
holographic overlaminates and HDP Film on both
sides of the card.
Cameras
and accessories: Fargo offers a selection
of digital cameras, photo lighting equipment and backgrounds,
and card accessories.

**Print speed indicates an approximate print speed and is measured from the time a card drops into the output hopper to the time the next card drops into the output
hopper. Print speeds do not include encoding time or the time needed for the PC to process the image. Process time is dependent on the size of the file, the CPU, amount of
RAM and the amount of available resources at the time of the print.
