Fargo DTC1500 Single Sided Photo ID System

In-House Badges with Network Connectivity

Set up a dedicated card issuance station for a school, healthcare facility, office, or membership organization. This Fargo DTC1500 kit combines a single-sided ID card printer with a 500-print YMCKO ribbon, 500 white CR80 30 mil PVC cards, Asure ID Solo 7 software, and a Logitech C920S Pro HD webcam. USB 2.0 supports a local workstation, while standard Ethernet and an internal print server allow network printing.

Color Printing and Readable Credentials

The 300 dpi direct-to-card process prints photos and graphics in color, with resin black for names and barcodes. A full-color YMCKO card prints in approximately 16 seconds. The 100-card input and up-to-100-card output hoppers help handle enrollment batches and replacement badges with fewer interruptions.

Security Features for Daily Issuance

A custom watermark can place your logo or text in the card's overlay. Resin scramble helps obscure information left on a used resin panel, while password protection and AES-256 encryption add protection to printer operation and network data. Adjustable resin threshold settings give operators control over black-panel use for text and barcodes.

Included Printing Supplies

The Fargo 45610 YMCKO ribbon yields up to 500 single-sided prints. Yellow, magenta, and cyan create color images; resin black defines text, and the clear overlay finishes the card surface. An integrated cleaning roller supports routine card cleaning. The 500 blank PVC cards are standard CR80 size, 30 mil thick, without a magnetic stripe or smart chip.

Design Cards and Capture Photos

Asure ID Solo 7 is delivered digitally and supports text, logos, photos, linear barcodes, and storage of up to 200 cardholder records. The C920S webcam provides 1080p video at 30 fps, autofocus, automatic light correction, and a privacy shutter for the enrollment station.

Setup and Future Options

A USB cable, printer driver and user guide CD, and US/international power cords are included. The printer and printhead have a three-year warranty. Compatible duplex, lamination, and encoding upgrades are available separately; this bundle is configured for single-sided printing.
