Single- and dual-sided monochrome card printer

The Fargo Persona M30 ID Card Printer is designed to personalize plastic cards with monochrome text, photos or barcodes, quickly and economically. The M30 delivers sharp, monochrome printing on durable plastic ID cards.

The Fargo Persona M30’s easy-loading, all-in-one ribbon cartridge saves time and eliminates the mess and expense of torn, wasted ribbons. Simply open the front panel, slide in the monochrome ribbon cartridge (choose from seven colors), close the panel and it is done. There’s nothing to feed, nothing to fumble with, nothing to tear. And since the card cleaning roller is integrated into the ribbon cartridge, you automatically change the cleaning roller every time you change the ribbon.

One side, or two? The Persona M30 ID Card Printer comes in both single- and dual-sided models. If you only need cards printed on one side, choose the compact, single-sided M30. But if you want the flexibility of printing on both sides — to put a bar code on the back, for example — opt for the dual-sided M30. Either way, you’ll get one of the easiest-to-use ID card printers available: the Persona M30.

If you need best quality for your full colour printed plastic cards Reverse Image Printers are your first choice. Especially for photo personalization of RFID and contact smart cards the High Definition printers are irreplaceable. The latest development is the FARGO HDP 5000 series.

The HDP 5000 creates the famous Fargo reverse image card print quality that looks like crisp glossy photo. Printing on film cannot affect image quality or damage print heads, despite the uneven surface of technology cards. The HDP 5000 can print over-the-edge and up to the edge of smart contact chip card. Cards produced by Fargo's reverse image card printer are inherently more durable and secure than other types of cards. They resist wear and tear by putting a durable layer of HDP Film. They are also very secure and tamper-evident. The image destroys itself, if a counterfeiter tries to peel apart the layers. The Fargo HDP 5000 provides best flexibility to your high-sophisticated card personalisation project. The modular design grows with your needs.

Inline Card Lamination system: If you need to protect ID-cards from alteration, counterfeiting and physical abrasion add single-sided or simultaneous dual-sided Inline Card Lamination modules to the HDP 5000. The HDP 5000 card laminators are available as field upgrade modules. Fargo Secure Overlaminates give your cards a hologram based higher level of security protection. Overlaminates also add a layer of physical protection. They provide durability against swipe abrasion, prevent dye-migration and shield against UV light.
