Welcome to the new standard in card personalization systems.
Loaded with advanced features, Fargo's DTC500/400/300 Series is expertly engineered -- yet surprisingly simple. Whether you print membership cards, employee access cards, student IDs or loyalty cards, you'll be impressed with the rugged reliability, ease-of-use and quiet performance of these versatile and compact printer/encoders.
And now we've added even more modular capability to the DTC525 and DTC515 models. New Card Lamination Modules let you add clear or holographic overlaminates to one or both sides of your cards for maximum durability and security.
Quality printing takes you to the edge.
Designed to make you and your cards look their best, the DTC500 Series features the finest quality and most versatile direct-to-card (DTC™) printing available. Each model prints edge-to-edge on standard CR-80 cards from 10 mil to 50 mil thick, and consistently produces crisp, full-color or monochrome cards.
Print different types of cards quickly without having to reload.
With the DTC515 and DTC525 models, you can print longer without refilling consumables. Each comes with Dual Card Input Hoppers that hold up to 200 cards. With the automated dual hoppers, you can easily print two different types of cards -- even cards with different thicknesses. Plus, the long-lasting, drop-in ribbons let you print up to three times as many cards as competitive printers.
Encode your cards for more functionality.
No other direct-to-card printer can beat the encoding options of the DTC510, 515, 520 and 525 printer/encoders. Their advanced technology lets you print and encode or read a card with up to three different e-card technologies plus a magnetic stripe -- all in a single pass! Print and encode standard-sized e-cards, including contact and contactless smart cards, and thick, "clamshell" proximity cards (read only). With the DTC500 Series, you can quickly print and encode your access cards, ID badges or loyalty cards -- in volume and on demand -- all in one easy step!
Revolutionary Card Lamination Module makes it easier than ever to have durable and secure cards.
Fargo offers you the option of adding single or double-sided lamination -- even after you've purchased your printer! You can order a DTC525-LC with the Dual-Sided Lamination Module, or the DTC515-LC with Single-Sided Lamination Module factory-installed. Or, order a standard DTC525 or DTC515, and add the module when your needs change. It applies overlaminate to the front and/or back of your cards -- all in the same pass as your printing and encoding! Plus, Fargo's clear and holographic PolyGuard Overlaminates provide up to 25 times more protection than standard overlays.
User-friendly setup has you printing in minutes.
Everything about the DTC500 Series is user-friendly, including setup and maintenance. It features plug-and-print setup and simple, straightforward operation. And installation is easy with the interactive printer driver installer CD. If you need assistance, a "Help" button on the LCD and a multimedia Online User's Guide make it easy to get answers at any time. Plus, flash upgradeable firmware enables you to access all updates online. With its powerful print engine and 4MB of RAM, the DTC500 Series can breeze through 133 color cards, or over 500 monochrome cards per hour!
"Smart" security package protects cards and printer/encoder.
The DTC515 and DTC525 models also feature a security package that includes a Card Hopper Lock to protect valuable cards, Fargo's exclusive SmartGuard™ Printer Security, and SmartShield™ Card Security technology.
If you need a card printer/encoder that's versatile, reliable and easy-to-operate, the DTC500 Series is for you.
