Frequently Asked Questions
What are the print speed and resolution capabilities of the Fargo DTC1500XE?
The Fargo DTC1500XE produces 225 full-color single-sided cards per hour with a 300-dpi direct-to-card printing process. This combination of fast print speeds and high resolution delivers crisp, detailed output suitable for corporate IDs, healthcare badges, and government credentials. The dye-sublimation printing process ensures accurate colors and images are fused directly onto the card surface.
Can the DTC1500XE print on both sides of an ID card?
Yes, the Fargo DTC1500XE comes equipped with a built-in dual-sided flipper and supports dual-sided printing. If you initially purchase a single-sided model, you can upgrade to dual-sided printing after purchase by inserting a dual-sided printing RFID tag into the printer—no hardware replacement needed. This flexibility allows you to adapt to changing credential requirements without replacing your equipment.
What security features does the DTC1500XE offer to prevent card fraud?
The DTC1500XE includes multiple security layers: password protection to restrict printer access to approved operators, security watermarks (transparent images printed over credentials) that create counterfeit-resistant badges without special overlaminates, and a resin erase feature that scrambles resin-printed text on the ribbon to prevent duplication. Optional lamination with UV or holographic films provides additional anti-fraud protection and extends card durability.
What ribbon options and cost-per-card savings does the DTC1500XE provide?
The DTC1500XE accepts high-volume ribbons including a 500-print YMCKO ribbon and an 850-print half-panel color ribbon, offering approximately 50% more prints per ribbon than standard options. This results in one of the lowest cost-per-card breakdowns available in the market, making it ideal for small- to medium-size businesses with regular card issuance needs.
What connectivity options and optional upgrades are available for the DTC1500XE?
The DTC1500XE comes standard with both USB 2.0 and Ethernet connectivity for single or multiple workstations. We offer an optional WiFi Accessory to enable card issuance from anywhere on your network. Additional upgrades include encoding modules for magnetic stripe, contact smart cards, contactless smart cards, HID iClass, and proximity cards, plus optional single-sided lamination for enhanced security and durability.
Is the Fargo DTC1500XE suitable for temporary or visitor ID programs?
Yes, the DTC1500XE is equipped with a built-in erase and rewrite function that works with rewritable cards, making it ideal for managing visitor badges and temporary ID cards. This feature allows cards to be efficiently reused for future issuance, reducing costs and waste for organizations that issue short-term credentials. The printer's 225 cards-per-hour speed and durable construction support high-volume temporary badge programs.
