Description
The HID FARGO DTC1250e is a direct-to-card ID card printer built for small businesses, schools, and local governments that need professional, full-color credentials on a budget. It prints a full-color card in about 16 seconds (around 225 cards per hour) and automatically prints both sides of the card. This is the dual-sided model with a factory-installed ISO magnetic stripe encoder, part number 050110 (also listed as 50110), connected by USB.
It prints at 300 dpi, combining dye-sublimation for photo-quality color with resin thermal transfer for sharp black text and barcodes. Automatic dual-sided printing puts photos and color on the front and barcodes, data, terms, or a return address on the back. Designed for ultralow maintenance, the EZ ribbon cartridge loads in seconds and its integrated cleaning roller is replaced automatically with every ribbon change.
The built-in ISO magnetic stripe encoder writes tracks 1, 2, and 3 as the card prints, so you can produce and encode access, membership, time-and-attendance, or loyalty cards in a single step. Built-in security protects your card program: AES-256 encryption secures data in transit between your PC and the printer, while HID's resin scramble feature renders used ribbon panels unreadable. The DTC1250e is also field-upgradeable to Ethernet with an internal print server.
