Fargo HDP5000e Dual Sided Retransfer ID Card Printer with Lamination

Professional, Dual-Sided Printing with Integrated Lamination

The Fargo HDP5000e is engineered for organizations that demand high-quality, high-security ID credentials. This model features dual-sided printing and built-in support for single or dual-sided lamination, delivering long-lasting durability and tamper-resistant protection in every card.

Using reverse transfer (retransfer) printing technology, the HDP5000e prints high-definition, edge-to-edge images on CR-80 cards — even those with embedded electronics or uneven surfaces. Optional dual-sided lamination provides a protective overlaminate layer on both sides of the card, guarding against physical wear and fraudulent alteration.

Key Features

• Built-in dual-sided printing and lamination module (single or dual-sided)
• Multi-pass support for enhanced card protection
• SmartScreen™ interface with OLED display for intuitive operation
• Edge-to-edge printing at 300 dpi resolution for professional results
• Up to 109 dual-sided cards per hour (YMCKK with transfer)
• Highly modular — easily upgradeable to include advanced encoding and hoppers

Configurable Encoding Options to Meet Every Requirement

The HDP5000e supports a wide variety of encoding technologies — all field-upgradable — enabling you to personalize cards with both visual and electronic data in a single pass. Available encoder options include:

• Magnetic stripe encoding (ISO 7811 Tracks 1, 2, 3)
• Contact smart card encoding (ISO 7816)
• Contactless encoding (HID iCLASS®, MIFARE®, DESFire®)
• HID Prox read-only module

Designed for Flexibility and High-Volume Environments

The printer’s modular architecture allows for scalable configurations tailored to your organization’s growth. Combine dual input hoppers, dual lamination modules, and encoding units to handle high-volume issuance scenarios without downtime.

With compatibility for HID FARGO Connect™, this printer supports **cloud-based printing and remote management**, making it an ideal solution for distributed operations or campus-wide issuance environments.
