Fargo DTC1500 Dual Sided ID Card Printer with Single Sided Lamination

The Fargo DTC 1500 Dual-sided ID card printer is ideal for organizations who desire to produce secure, high-quality ID cards for a cost-effective price. Ideally suited to business needs, as well as academic institutions and government agencies the DTC 1500 has 100-card input and output hoppers so it can create secure ID cards quickly, and with the minimum of fuss.

The ability to manually set the resin threshold levels provides the operator with a way to print barcodes and crisp, dark text that will stay clear and pristine for the lifetime of the card.

As security is always a concern the DTC 1500 provides a custom watermark function built into the system so that a logo or other unique image of your choice can be incorporated directly onto the card making counterfeiting exceptionally difficult.

Additional security is provided by AES 256 data encryption and password protection, as well as resin scramble data protection which will stop anyone reading the used ribbon to identify any information that has been printed onto the card.

The DTC 1500 dual-sided printer is adaptable and scalable with the ability to add a variety of modules as your printing needs evolve.

** Print speed indicates an approximate print speed and is measured from the time a card drops into the output hopper to the time the next card drops into the output hopper. Print speeds do not include encoding time or the time needed for the PC to process the image. Process time is dependent on the size of the file, the CPU, amount of RAM and the amount of available resources at the time of the print.
