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. As the fastest printer in its class, it prints up to 50% more cards in the same time as higher-end direct-to-card printers, producing a full-color card in about 16 seconds (around 225 cards per hour) and a monochrome card in 6 seconds. This is the single-sided model with built-in Ethernet and an internal print server, part number 050020 (also listed as 50020), and it also connects by USB.
It prints at 300 dpi, combining dye-sublimation for photo-quality color with resin thermal transfer for sharp black text and barcodes. Designed for ultralow maintenance, even first-time users can issue cards on day one: the EZ ribbon cartridge loads in seconds and its integrated cleaning roller is replaced automatically with every ribbon change.
Built-in Ethernet with an internal print server lets multiple users share the printer across your network, so it can sit anywhere and serve a whole office, school, or department. 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 grows with you, too: it is field-upgradeable to dual-sided printing and to magnetic stripe, contact, and contactless smart-card encoding.
