HID FARGO HDP5000 ID Card Printer & Encoder

HDP5000 produces ID cards with the highest image quality available. 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 sharp glossy photo than an ordinary ID badge. Printing on film instead of directly on the card means that the uneven surface of technology cards doesn’t compromise image quality. The HDP5000 can print up to the edge of smart chip contacts, and over the edge of the card. The HDP5000 offers the versatility to meet your card application needs today and in the future. The system’s flexible architecture lets you expand or reduce production instantly, with add-on dualsided printing, encoding and lamination modules. For greater system capacity, an optional dual card input hopper lets you easily manage multiple card types and higher card volumes.
