Is the Fargo 55206 a single-sided or dual-sided printer?
The Fargo 55206 is a single-sided printer, meaning it prints on one side of the card per pass. This base model is designed for high-volume applications where single-sided printing meets your identification needs. Visit barcodesinc.com to explore dual-sided options if you require two-sided printing.

These dual interface options ensure compatibility with various IT infrastructure setups. We offer this printer with full technical support for network integration.
How long does the ribbon last on the Fargo 55206?
The Fargo 55206 uses high-capacity ribbons that enable printing of twice as many full-color cards compared to most standard printers before ribbon replacement is needed. This extended ribbon life reduces operational downtime and lowers consumable costs for high-volume card printing operations. Contact us today for ribbon pricing and availability.
