DTC500 Series The most versatile and compact solution for printing, encoding and laminating plastic cards.

The FARGO DTC500 Series Card Printer/Encoders offer the modular features you need for high-volume or on:

Welcome to the new standard in card personalization systems.

Loaded with advanced features, FARGO's DTC500 Series is expertly engineered - yet surprisingly simple. Whether you print membership cards, employee access cards, student IDs or loyalty cards, you'll be impressed with the rugged reliability, ease-of-use and quiet performance of these versatile and compact printer/encoders. And now we've added even more modular capability to the DTC525 model. Its new Card Lamination Module lets you add clear or holographic overlaminates to your cards for maximum card durability and security.

Quality printing takes you to the edge.

Designed to make you and your cards look their best, the FARGO DTC500 Series features the finest quality and most versatile direct-to-card (DTC) printing available. Each model prints edge-to-edge on standard CR-80 cards from 10 mil to 50 mil thick, and consistently produces crisp, full-color or monochrome cards.

Print different types of cards quickly without having to reload.

With the FARGO DTC515 and FARGO DTC525 models, you can print longer without refilling. Each comes with Dual Card Input Hoppers that can hold up to 200 cards. With the dual hoppers, you can have easy, automated printing of two different types of cards - even cards with different thicknesses. Plus, the long-lasting, drop-in ribbons let you print up to three times as many cards as competitive printers.

 

Encode your cards for more functionality.

No other direct-to-card printer can match the encoding capability of the FARGO DTC500 Series. Its advanced technology lets you print and encode or read a card with up to three different e-card technologies plus a magnetic stripe - all in a single pass! It can print and encode standard e-card types, including contact and contactless smart cards, and proximity cards (read only). With the FARGO DTC500 Series, you can quickly print and encode your access cards, ID badges or loyalty cards - in volume and on-demand - all in one easy step!

FARGO's patented dual, auto-switching Card Input Hoppers let you load up to 200 of the same type of card. Or you can place a different stack of 100 cards into each hopper for added versatility and efficiency.

The most versatile and compact solution for printing, encoding and laminating plastic cards.

FARGO C500 Series Card Printer/Encoders offer the modular features you need for high-volume or on-demand applications.

It applies overlaminate to the front and/or back of your cards - all in the same pass as your printing and encoding! Plus, FARGO's clear and holographic PolyGuard Overlaminates provide up to 25 times more protection than standard overlays
