Fargo HDP600 Series High Definition Card Printer/Encoders print, encode and laminate smart cards and other technology-rich ID cards with consistency and perfection. Optional magnetic stripe, lamination and other modules can be built into HDP600 Series printer/encoders at any time. You’ll be able to print, encode and laminate in one continuous pass.
The HDP600 Series provides easy setup and complete job control. Supplies load fast, and an informative LCD panel provides clear instruction. You also get automatic card cleaning and a reject hopper for malfunctioning cards.
There’s simply no better way to produce high security cards with embedded electronics.
Today’s security-conscious organizations demand cards with superior intelligence and functionality. However, the embedded electronics that make these high-security cards robust also cause irregularities on their surfaces — making them hard to print.
With Fargo’s HDP600 High Definition Card Printer/ Encoder, high-security cards are no longer hard to print. Featuring our patented High Definition Printing™ (HDP®) technology, the HDP600 is the only card printer/encoder that can consistently and perfectly print, encode and laminate technology-rich ID cards, such as:
CONTACT SMART CARDS
RFID CARDS
CONTACTLESS SMART CARDS
WIEGAND CARDS
PROXIMITY CARDS
OPTICAL MEMORY CARDS
Don’t compromise when your security is at stake.
With traditional dye-sublimation printers, the printhead comes in contact with the card it’s printing. Unfortunately, this means these printers can’t consistently print on the ridges and indentations caused by internal RFID antenna, integrated circuits and smart chips. Even worse, the card’s electronics can get damaged by, or damage, the printhead.
With High Definition Printing, however, there’s never any contact between the printhead and card. Instead, the HDP600 prints images onto the underside of the HDP Film, which is then fused flush to the
card through heat and pressure. Now you can consistently print over surface irregularities — even to the edge of a smart chip — without damaging the card’s electronics or your printhead.
Save time (and more!) by printing and encoding all in one pass.
Printing and encoding cards in more than one pass puts you at risk. If cards aren’t rerun in the proper order, vital information could get encoded on the wrong card. The HDP600 eliminates that worry by letting you print and encode high-security cards in one pass.
Add lamination for an extra layer of protection.
Want your cards to have the ultimate in security? Then add a lamination module to your HDP600. Our patented clear and holographic PolyGuard™Overlaminates provide the maximum protection from tampering, counterfeiting and everyday wear and tear. They can also save you money by reducing the need to issue replacement cards.
Make your budget go farther with our next-generation modular design.
It’s difficult to know what type of card functionality you might need in the future. That’s why Fargo lets you add encoding and laminating modules to your HDP600 at any time. Order an HDP600 custom fit to your needs today (i.e., mag stripe encoding only). Then, rest easy knowing you can add a proximity card encoder, smart card encoder or lamination module tomorrow.
Sophisticated? Yes. Complicated? No.
Thanks to Fargo’s advanced engineering, the HDP600 sn’t just highly capable, it also sets new standards for userfriendliness and reliability. That’s why it’s the most dependable choice for security-conscious organizations like yours.
