FARGO® HDP5000 ID CARD PRINTER

Part No

HDP5000

Versatility delivered. Complexity simplified - ID cards printed on the FARGO HDP5000 Card Printer reflect the value you place on your brand. 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 like a sharp glossy photo than an ordinary ID badge.
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 organisations.
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.
Security - 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
The right printer for every application - High Definition Printing is the technology of choice for the best looking ID cards available, making the HDP5000 a smart choice for retail stores, recreation facilities, or any organisation whose brand image is paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What factors should I consider when choosing an ID Card Printer?

What is the difference between Direct-to-Card and Re-transfer ID Card Printers?

Direct-to-card printers are typically less expensive and faster than retransfer printers but produce lower-quality prints that are less durable. On the other hand, Retransfer printers provide higher quality prints and more durable cards but come with a higher cost and slower print speed.

When choosing between the two, it's essential to consider your specific printing needs and budget to determine which technology best fits your organisation.

Contact our sales representatives to assist with choosing the correct printer that meets your security requirements.

How fast can the ID Card Printer print cards?

Direct-to-card printers tend to print faster than retransfer printers due to the simpler printing process. Retransfer printers have to go through an extra step to transfer the image from the clear film onto the card, which can slow down the printing process.

Refer to our ID Card Printer Guide from our IDW Technologies website for assistance in determining printer speed. For further support submit an enquiry to our ID Warehouse Customer Service team here.

What volume of cards per year can I print?

The quantity of output per year will be determined by the capabilities of the printer model. The more affordable ranges have a lower output of less than 10,000 cards per year whereas the more specialised can print more than 100,000 cards per year.

It is important to consider how many cards you will be printing on a regular basis. If you only need to print a few cards per week or month, a basic printer will suffice. However, if you need to print hundreds or thousands of cards per day, you'll need a high-volume printer that can handle the workload.

Less than 10,000 include: SMART-51L, SMART-51S/D, Fargo DTC1250e, Fargo DTC4250e

Higher-volume printers include: Fargo HDP5000, Fargo HDP6600

What are the best ID Card Printer options that offer both value and affordability?

At ID Warehouse we have a variety of ID Card Printers at different price points. Direct-to-card printers tend to have a lower price compared to retransfer printers due to their simpler design and fewer features. However, retransfer printers offer superior print quality and card durability, making them essential for specific applications like government IDs or employee badges.

It is important to consider your specific requirements to ensure that the printer selected meets all your needs. With your features in mind, the higher volume and security required usually reflect a higher cost but our team will work with you to ensure you get exactly the printer you need at a great price.

Budget-friendly options include: SMART-51S/D, Fargo DTC1250e, Fargo DTC4250e
