Additional Information

This printer has been discontinued. Please see the replacement model HID Global’s Fargo DTC4500 Dual-Sided ID card printer.

When it comes to ease of use and versatility, the HID Global Fargo DTC525 dual-sided ID card printer beats other card printers hands down. Utilizing Fargo’s DTC (Direct to Card) Technology, the DTC offers reliable engineering in a surprisingly small package, that delivers state of the art cards with very little effort. The SmartScreen™ display keeps you informed at all times of the printer’s operation, and maintenance status. By pressing a “help” button, you’ll call up a screen with easy to follow instructions that walk you through your printing, step-by-step.

With the ability to print an impressive 102 full color cards an hour, on two sides, including a clear protective laminate, the DTC525 delivers an amazing performance. With the DTC525’s powerful array of options, like the lamination module, you’ll get increased security, and a prolonged card life that will save you money, while protecting you from forgery. With the optional encoding module you can laminate, and encode three types of e-card technologies, and a magnetic stripe – in one pass.

Fargo’s SmartScreen™ display features easy-to-use navigation menus, and provides up to the second information about printer maintenance status, and operation. Fargo’s SmartGuard, SmartShield, and Card Hopper lock will give you peace of mind, knowing that your printer and valuable consumables are protected from unwanted users.

The Fargo DTC525 delivers plug-and-print functionality right out of the box. You’ll love what the DTC525 can do for your business, whether you’re printing employee ID badges, customer loyalty cards, custom smart cards, and more.
