Fargo DTC1500 Dual Sided ID Card Printer

With over 20 years of experience in the direct-to-card printing industry, Fargo delivers a uniquely versatile printer with dual-sided capabilities in the HID® FARGO® DTC1500. This dual-side printing can be activated with the simple use of an RFID tag making after-purchase upgrade with little effort. For organizations looking to issue high quality and secure IDs while saving costs along the way, this particular version is quite hard to beat.

Perfect for government agencies, academic institutions, healthcare organizations and small to medium sized businesses, there is rarely a demand met by these organizations the DTC 1500 can’t meet. When security matters, this system offers a built-in custom watermark overlay function.

This allows you to add fully customized transparent security images such as a logo, symbol or text. This custom watermark makes counterfeiting extremely difficult while saving costs along the way. Not to mention you’ll have standard password protection and AES 256 data encryption at your fingertips.

Beyond just security, the DTC 1500 presents a unique ability to print darker, crisper text and barcodes with its resin threshold settings. Made to be adaptable and scalable, one can add optional lamination or encoding modules at any time. This is top security, lower costs and a brand organizations small and large have come to trust with its ID printing needs.
