FEATURES

c

A professional, modular card printer/encoder that's also versatile and easy to use.

  • Dual- or single-sided Direct-to-Card printing of photos, bar codes and digitized signatures.
  • Simple to operate, virtually maintenance free, and field-upgradeable with smart card, proximity and magnetic stripe encoding options.
  • Eliminates hassles of loading ribbons and cleaning rollers with exclusive SmartLoad™ ribbon cartridge.
  • Ideal for small to mid-sized businesses, K–12 schools, public safety departments, and local and state government facilities.

Holographic Foil Cards
These cards feature a tamper-resistant, instantly verifiable foil that’s permanently embedded into the card surface. The foil alone helps make non-laminated ID cards more secure, or it can add another security layer to laminated cards.

Optional dual-sided printing

Dual-sided printing doubles the printable area of your ID cards. That means you can put larger photos on the front, and additional information, bar codes and digitized signatures on the back. Dual-sided printing can also make cards harder to counterfeit.

Optional smart card encoding

Comprehensive security applications frequently combine photo IDs with some type of technology or “smart” cards. With optional modules, Fargo’s Professional Series printer/encoders can encode up to three smart card technologies in one pass: contact and contactless smart card, magnetic stripe, and proximity card (read-only).

SmartLoad™ ribbon cartridge

The DTC400 takes the hassle out of handling printer supplies. Its SmartLoad ribbon cartridge combines the printer ribbon and card-cleaning roller into one disposable unit. Just slide in the cartridge, close the door and you’re done. No feeding or tearing ribbon rolls, no fumbling with separate cleaning rollers.
About Direct-to-Card Printing
Direct-to-Card (DTC®) printing uses dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer technologies to print sharp, clear, colorful images directly onto the surface of the plastic ID card.
