Frequently Asked Questions
What are the print speed and resolution of the Fargo DTC1500 XE single-sided printer?
The Fargo DTC1500 XE delivers 225 full-color single-sided cards per hour with 300-dpi resolution. This combination of fast print speeds and detailed 300-dpi direct-to-card printing ensures high-quality, professional-level ID credentials suitable for small- to medium-size businesses.
What connectivity options does the DTC1500 XE offer?
The DTC1500 XE comes standard with both USB 2.0 and Ethernet connectivity, allowing you to connect from one or more workstations. We also offer an optional WiFi Accessory that enables card issuance from anywhere, anytime, across your network.
Can the DTC1500 XE single-sided printer be upgraded to dual-sided printing later?
Yes. Every DTC1500 XE printer comes with a built-in dual-sided flipper, and you can upgrade from single-sided to dual-sided printing after purchase by purchasing the dual-sided printing RFID tag and inserting it into your printer—no hardware replacement needed.
What security features does the Fargo DTC1500 XE provide for ID cards?
The DTC1500 XE includes security watermarks (transparent images printed over credentials to create counterfeit-resistant badges), password protection to restrict printer access, and a resin erase feature that scrambles resin-printed text on the ribbon to prevent duplication. Optional lamination with UV or holographic films can further strengthen anti-fraud properties and extend card life.
What ribbon options are available for the DTC1500 XE, and how do they affect cost-per-card?
We offer affordably priced 500-print YMCKO ribbons and 850-print half-panel color ribbons for the DTC1500 XE—approximately 50% more prints per ribbon than standard options. This high-volume ribbon capacity delivers one of the lowest cost-per-card breakdowns available in the market.
What optional encoding capabilities can be added to the DTC1500 XE?
The DTC1500 XE supports several encoding options including magnetic stripe, contact or contactless smart cards, HID iClass cards, and proximity cards. These upgrades enable you to issue secure access credentials for government, healthcare, education, and corporate applications.
