The FARGO DTC500 Series Card Printer/Encoders
offer the modular features you need for
high-volume or on-demand applications.

Welcome to the new standard in card personalization systems.

Loaded with advanced features, FARGO’s DTC500 Series is expertly engineered — yet surprisingly simple. Whether you print membership cards, employee access cards, student IDs or loyalty cards, you’ll be impressed with the rugged reliability, ease-of-use and quiet performance of these versatile and compact printer/encoders.

And now we’ve added even more modular capability to the DTC525 model. Its new Card Lamination Module lets you add clear or holographic overlaminates to your cards for maximum card durability and security

Quality printing takes you to the edge.

DTC500 Series features the finest quality and most versatile direct-to-card (DTC™) printing available. Each model prints edge-to-edge on standard CR-80 cards from 10 mil to 50 mil thick, and consistently produces crisp, full-color or monochrome cards.

Print different types of cards quickly without having to reload.

With the DTC515 and DTC525 models, you can print longer without refilling. Each comes with Dual Card Input Hoppers that can hold up to 200 cards. With the dual hoppers, you can have easy, automated printing of two different types of cards — even cards with different thicknesses. Plus, the long-lasting, drop-in ribbons let you print up to three times as many cards as competitive printers.



Encode your cards for more functionality

No other direct-to-card printer can match the encoding capability of the DTC500 Series. Its advanced technology lets you print and encode or read a card with up to three different e-card technologies plus a magnetic stripe — all in a single pass! It can print and encode standard e-card types, including contact and contactless smart cards, and proximity cards (read only). With the DTC500 Series, you can quickly print and encode your access cards, ID badges or loyalty cards — in volume and on-demand — all in one easy step!
 

Revolutionary Card Lamination Module makes it easier than ever to have durable and secure cards.

Only FARGO offers you the option of adding lamination to your printer/encoder — even after you’ve purchased it! You can order a DTC525-LC with the Card Lamination Module factory-installed. Or, you can order a standard DTC525, and in the future as your needs change, the module can easily be added. Either way, it’s an intelligent purchase! It applies overlaminate to the front and/or back of your cards — all in the same pass as your printing and encoding! Plus, FARGO’s clear and holographic PolyGuard Overlaminates provide up to 25 times more protection than standard overlays.

User-friendly setup has you printing in minutes.

Everything about the DTC500 Series is user-friendly, including setup and maintenance. It features plug-and-print setup and simple, straightforward operation. And installation is easy with the interactive printer-driver installer CD. If you need assistance, a “Help” button on the LCD and a multimedia Online User’s Guide make it easy to get answers at any time. Plus, flash upgradeable firmware enables you to download new upgrades online.

With its powerful print engine and 4MB of RAM, the DTC500 Series can breeze through 133 color cards, or over 500 monochrome cards per hour!

“Smart” security package protects cards and printer/encoder.

The DTC515 and DTC525 models also feature a printer security package that includes a Lockable Hopper to protect valuable cards, FARGO’s exclusive SmartGuard Printer Security, and SmartShield™ Card Security technology.

If you need a card printer/encoder that’s versatile,
reliable and easy-to-operate,
the DTC500 Series is for you.
