With the direct-to-card printer HID Fargo DTC1500, you can produce high-quality ID cards with low consumable costs.
The DTC1500 stands out especially due to its unmatched security features, making it the ideal solution for companies and government agencies with advanced security requirements. The built-in watermark function allows you to place a custom-designed watermark transparently onto the card’s overlay, significantly increasing forgery protection.
The so-called resin scramble feature also enhances security and supports GDPR compliance: used ribbons are rendered unreadable after printing, so personal data cannot be reconstructed from the ribbon’s negative image.
The HID Fargo DTC1500 card printer not only impresses with its security capabilities but also with its outstanding print quality. Innovative printer settings, such as resin threshold control, ensure vivid, sharp text and barcodes.
Like most HID Fargo printers, the DTC1500 is modular and can be upgraded later. A special feature of the DTC1500 is its pre-installed dual-sided printing function, which can be easily activated via RFID tag. USB and Ethernet interfaces are included as standard. The printer can also be upgraded with laminators and encoders.
