Description
🔄 PRODUCT UPDATE
✅ Product Discontinued: Fargo 084054 → Updated to 84501
Fargo 084054 Holographic HDP Film has been officially discontinued and replaced by the Fargo 84501 Holographic Overlaminate, offering the same 500 prints with enhanced compatibility across newer HDP printer models while maintaining the same High Secure Orbit holographic security features.
Enhance your ID card security with 500 high-security prints per roll—essential holographic retransfer film featuring the High Secure Orbit design that makes counterfeiting virtually impossible while delivering the superior edge-to-edge coverage and durability that HDP printing is known for.
Why This Holographic Film Works
- Anti-counterfeiting protection — High Secure Orbit holographic pattern embedded in the film makes tampering and duplication extremely difficult to achieve
- Visual security verification — Instantly recognizable holographic design allows quick authentication of genuine cards by security personnel
- Professional security applications — Perfect for government credentials, high-security access cards, and sensitive facility badges requiring visual verification
- Complete HDP benefits included — Provides all standard HDP advantages like edge-to-edge printing, printhead protection, and works on uneven smart card surfaces
- Efficient 500-print capacity — Optimized yield that aligns perfectly with dual-sided ribbon capacities for streamlined consumable management
Printer Compatibility
- HID Fargo HDP5600 — Works directly with current firmware
- HID Fargo HDP5600XE — Compatible with enhanced XE models
- HID Fargo HDP5000e — Compatible with enhanced models
- HID Fargo HDP5000 — Compatible (older models may require firmware update)
- Works with all HDP ribbons — Compatible with 084510 YMC, 084511 YMCK, and 084512 YMCKK ribbons
Here's How Holographic HDP Retransfer Creates Secure Cards
1. Ribbon Prints on Holographic Film Color ribbon prints image in reverse onto holographic retransfer film—combining your card design with built-in security features
2. Holographic Pattern Integrated High Secure Orbit holographic design becomes part of the printed image—creating tamper-evident security layer
3. Heat Transfer Process Thermal bonding fuses both image and holographic security pattern to card surface—permanent, tamper-resistant bond
4. Edge-to-Edge Security Holographic film covers entire card surface including edges—complete protection with no vulnerable borders
5. Visual Authentication Finished card displays clear holographic pattern—allows instant visual verification of authenticity by security personnel

Common Questions
Is Fargo 84501 the same as 084501?
Yes, Fargo 84501 and 084501 are the same product. HID Global often lists part numbers with or without the leading zero, but they refer to the same holographic overlaminate for your HDP printer. You can order with confidence knowing you're getting the correct film, no matter which part number you see.
Is Specialist ID an authorized HID Global dealer?
Yes, Specialist ID is an authorized HID Global dealer with direct access to genuine Fargo holographic films and consumables. We stock fresh inventory, provide expert technical support, and maintain strong relationships with HID Global to ensure you receive authentic consumables with full manufacturer backing and warranty protection.
What is the purpose of a holographic overlaminate film?
A holographic overlaminate, like the Fargo 84501, adds a visual security element to ID cards with a repeating "High Secure Orbit" pattern. This holographic layer makes the card significantly more difficult to tamper with or counterfeit, thereby enhancing the overall security of the ID badge while allowing instant visual authentication.
How many prints does one roll of Fargo 84501 film yield?
Each roll of Fargo 84501 Holographic Overlaminate is rated to produce approximately 500 images or prints. This yield aligns with common dual-sided ribbon yields, ensuring efficient consumable management.
Is Fargo 84501 a retransfer film or a laminate?
The Fargo 84501 is specifically a holographic retransfer film. In HDP printing, the image is printed onto this film first, and then the film (with the holographic design embedded) is heat-transferred to the card, acting as both the image carrier and a protective, secure layer. It is distinct from traditional laminates that are applied as a separate layer after the card is printed directly.
Do I still need a ribbon when using the 84501 Holographic Film?
Yes, absolutely. The Fargo 84501 is a retransfer film, not a ribbon. HDP printers require both a color ribbon (e.g., YMCK, YMCKK) to print the image and the retransfer film (like the 84501) to transfer that image onto the card surface and provide protection.
Is the Fargo 84501 compatible with my older HDP5000 printer?
Yes, the Fargo 84501 is compatible with HDP5000 printers. However, for optimal performance and to ensure full functionality, older HDP5000 models (especially those manufactured before 2018) may require a firmware update.
What is the difference between Fargo 84501 and other clear HDP films like 84500?
The key difference lies in the security feature. The Fargo 84501 includes a holographic "High Secure Orbit" design embedded within the film, providing visual security against counterfeiting. The Fargo 84500 is a standard clear retransfer film without any embedded holographic security features, primarily used for protection and image transfer.
Why should I use genuine Fargo consumables, especially for holographic films?
Using genuine Fargo holographic films, like the 84501, ensures optimal print quality, proper adhesion of the holographic elements, and prevents potential damage to your printer's sensitive components. Non-genuine or "compatible" films can lead to issues such as poor image quality, film tearing, misfeeds, and "Invalid Film" errors, and may also void your printer's warranty.
