Fargo DTC400 ID Card Printer

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.

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 encoding modules give you the flexibility to work with a variety of card technologies like HID MIFARE® and proximity cards.

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.

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.
