PLASTIC CARD PRINTERS — FARGO DTC550

Single- and Dual-Sided ID Card Printer

As a security professional, an enterprise network is probably the last place you'd want to install an ID card printer. As an IT administrator, an ID card printer could be a security-sensitive target that you probably wouldn't want on your network. But as you deploy tougher security measures throughout your organization, a networked and secure ID card printer could be exactly what you'll need. And Fargo already has it: The DTC550. The Fargo DTC550 Direct-to-Card Printer/Encoder supports secure ID card issuance at multiple locations throughout the enterprise. With an Ethernet port and internal print server, your IT staff can install a DTC550 anywhere on a LAN. The optional Print Security software gives your security team tight control over ID card printer access and use. The DTC550 provides greater flexibility when you're planning widespread or high-volume card issuance for applications such as employee access cards, government and student IDs, customer loyalty and membership cards.

Change is a constant in large organizations, and the Fargo DTC550 Direct-to-Card Printer/Encoder gives you tremendous flexibility whenever you need to reconfigure your ID card issuance system. The DTC550 is one of the most versatile ID card printers available, handling a wide range of secure ID card applications; from on demand photo IDs, to high-volume customer loyalty cards, to sophisticated access cards with embedded electronics. The DTC550 produces high-quality ID cards using two different Direct-to-Card (DTC®) printing methods: dye-sublimation for vivid colours and accurate photographic images, and resin thermal transfer for sharp black text and bar codes that can be easily read by infrared or visible light scanners. You can order the DTC550 with either a singlesided or dual-sided print engine. With a variety of options, the DTC550 can print, read/write and laminate up to three different e-card technologies - plus magnetic stripe - all in a single pass. And that includes encoding smart cards and reading proximity cards. However your card issuance needs change, the DTC550 can adapt, making both your organization, and your technology investment, more secure.
