Built to withstand large print volumes required by organizations, the DTC4500e Dual-Sided Card Printer from Fargo comes equipped with a variety of features that will allow users to quickly produce ID cards that suit their needs. This direct-to-card printer uses dye sublimation and thermal transfer technology to produce CR-80 and CR-79 adhesive backed cards with a 300 dpi resolution. Also, this system allows for fast print speeds of 16 seconds per card in YMCKO and 6 seconds per card in monochrome. Additionally, with built-in magnetic stripe encoding users will be able to create smart cards.
This model can print double-sided and edge-to-edge for optimum quality. Batch jobs are simplified by the use of a 200-card input hopper and a 100-card output hopper. The same-side hopper enables the use of a 100-card reject hopper to hold misprints and incorrectly programmed cards.
Checking print status is easy with a SmartScreen graphical display on the front panel and the Fargo Workbench with Color Assist tool for diagnostics and matching colors for accurate prints. Additionally, the printer has both USB 2.0 and Ethernet connectivity options with an internal print server for secure printing.
