Unlock the Potential of Smart Cards
Smart cards possess a realm of possibilities beyond their usual identity card functions. They extend their utility into access control, financial transactions, biometric identification, and medical records management. Though your ID card might dangle at the end of a lanyard, its capabilities are far-reaching. Government bodies, large enterprises, and financial institutions are harnessing the capabilities of ID card technology, spanning from proximity cards to multifunctional smart cards. The demands of these card-based applications have raised the bar for ID cards, necessitating higher definition and enhanced security. Enter the Fargo HDP5000 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder, producing proximity and smart cards of unparalleled quality.
Enhancements Evident in Every Card
Fargo introduced the groundbreaking High Definition Printing™ (HDP®) technology in 1999, and our dedication to progress in this field has never wavered. This technology yields High Definition cards boasting exceptional print quality alongside embedded electronics, all while ensuring durability and security. It's the perfect solution for producing proximity and smart cards. The HDP5000 printer/encoder represents the pinnacle of our HDP models, offering improvements across the board. Its simplified operation requires minimal training, thanks to the introduction of cartridges for cards, ribbons, and overlaminates that seamlessly snap into place. Expect crisper image quality and cost-effective card production with new HDP materials. Furthermore, increased printing speed allows you to breeze through even the most extensive production tasks.
Swiftly Achieve Dual-Sided Durability and Security
Enhancing an ID card's durability and security is a breeze with the application of a holographic overlaminate or holographic HDP Film on the front side. For double protection, apply an overlaminate on both sides. The HDP5000 excels in this aspect, laminating both sides of a card simultaneously in a single efficient pass.
Unlike systems with card flippers that consume time by turning cards over for a second lamination, our design operates seamlessly. While saving a few seconds per card may seem inconsequential, when multiplied across a production run of 5,000 or 10,000 cards, the accumulated time savings are substantial.
