Description
The HID FARGO HDP6600 (part number 94693, also listed as 094693) is a dual-sided 600 dpi retransfer ID card printer configured with Card Flattener, Two-Material Laminator, and Magnetic Stripe Encoder. The integrated card flattener ensures technology cards leave the printer smooth and level after the high-heat retransfer process — important for smart card programs. The attached LMX lamination module runs two overlaminate materials at once using HID’s wasteless lamination technology, so you can apply different laminates to the front and back of each card in a single pass through the module. The ISO magnetic stripe encoder supports dual high- and low-coercivity encoding on tracks 1, 2 and 3.
Retransfer (reverse transfer) printing images onto a clear HDP film and fuses that film to the card surface, so color reaches true over-the-edge coverage and conforms to the ridges of embedded electronics. At 600 dpi, the HDP6600 renders small text, complex characters and dense barcodes that 300 dpi direct-to-card printers cannot match — and because the printhead never touches the card, it carries a lifetime printhead warranty. It accepts 30 to 40 mil CR-80 cards, including proximity, smart, magnetic stripe and polycarbonate stock.
HID’s patent-pending iON (Instant On) technology brings the transfer roller to operating temperature in under 60 seconds, and batch printing reaches up to 230 cards per hour (YMCK with transfer). AES-256 data encryption and resin scramble data protection guard cardholder data through the print job, and the SmartScreen OLED control panel keeps operation simple. Connectivity is USB 2.0 and Ethernet with an internal print server. Every unit is backed by HID’s four-year printer warranty with one year of free loaner support (US), and Specialist ID is an authorized HID FARGO dealer.
