Fargo HDP5000 Single Sided Desktop Direct Thermal/Thermal Transfer Printer - Color - Card Print

Get vibrant, High Definition cards from the reliable, affordable FARGO® HDP5000.

High Definition Printing™
HDP® delivers the highest image quality layered on the highest functioning cards. HDP Film fuses to the surface of proximity and smart cards, conforming to ridges and indentations formed by embedded electronics.

Versatility delivered. Complexity simplified.

Colors are vibrant. Images are crisp. Quality is second to none. ID cards printed on FARGO HDP5000 Card Printer/Encoders do more than protect your organization - they reflect the value you place on your brand. HDP5000 produces ID cards with the highest image quality available. By printing a reverse image on the underside of HDP Film, then fusing the film to the card surface, the HDP5000 creates an image quality that looks more lik e a sharp glossy photo than an ordinary ID badge.

Printing on film instead of directly on the card means that the uneven surface of technology cards doesn't compromise image quality. The HDP5000 can print up to the edge of smart chip contacts, and over the edge of the card.

High quality meets affordability.

With the FARGO HDP5000, the price tag looks as great as the cards it produces. We can deliver high definition images cost-effectively, making the HDP5000 an ideal solution for a broad range of organizations.

Rely on it for more than good looks.

The HDP5000 is exceptionally reliable, which means less printer downtime. Because the printhead never comes in contact with card surfaces or debris, it's never damaged in the printing process. In fact, it carries a lifetime warranty.

Cards produced by High Definition Printing are inherently more durable and secure than other types of cards. They resist wear and tear by putting a durable layer of HDP Film between the card image and the outside world. They're also tamper-evident - if a counterfeiter tries to peel apart the layers, the image essentially destroys itself.

Improvements you'll see in every card.

FARGO introduced High Definition Printing in 1999, and we've been advancing the technology ever since. The HDP5000 is one of the most affordably priced reverse transfer printers on the market today. It's also the most efficient, with improvements at every level. Simple operation requires only minimal training. Cards, ribbons and overlaminates literally load in a snap via the cartridge-based system. Fast printing, combined with a dual card input hopper for multiple card types help you fly through the biggest production jobs.
