DTC550 Single or Dual Sided Colour Card Printer With Optional Laminator

Introduction

The Fargo DTC550 Direct-to-Card Printer/Encoder is exceptionally hardworking. Its heavy-duty construction makes it the right choice for high volume card printing and encoding, allowing quick printing of a variety of cards for multiple applications.

The optional lamination module provides extra security to cards with holographic Visual Security Solutions™. The DTC550 is versatile, able to deliver the level of personalisation and functionality and it's surprisingly simple to use, with easy set up and intuitive operation, including a user-friendly SmartScreen™ to monitor print status.

The DTC550 produces high-quality ID cards using two different Direct-to-Card (DTC) printing methods: dye sublimation for vivid colours and accurate photographic images, and resin thermal transfer for sharp black text and bar codes that can be easily read by infrared or visible light scanners. The DTC500 is available with either a single sided or dual sided print engine.

With a variety of options, the DTC550 can save time by printing, read/writing and laminating up to three different e-card technologies plus magnetic stripe all in a single pass. And that includes encoding smart cards and reading proximity cards.
