Frequently Asked Questions
What printing resolution options are available on the Fargo HDP5600?
The Fargo HDP5600 is available in both 300 DPI and 600 DPI (23.6 dots/mm) printing resolution. The 600 DPI option produces crisp, photographic-quality images with brilliantly vibrant colors and precise printing of small text and barcodes, making it ideal for high-security credentials.
Can the HDP5600 print on both sides of an ID card?
Yes, the HDP5600 supports optional dual-sided printing through a field-upgradable flipper module that can be added at any time. Dual-sided printing provides extra space for additional cardholder information, barcodes, contact details, or duplicated information for enhanced visibility.
What encoding options does the HDP5600 support?
The HDP5600 can be upgraded with multiple encoding modules including ISO Magnetic Stripe Encoder (2 and 3 track), Omnikey Cardman 5121 (iClass, MIFARE, DESFire), Omnikey Cardman 5125 (HID Proximity), and Omnikey Cardman 5127 (iClass, MIFARE, DESFire, and HID Proximity). Smart card and proximity card encoders can be combined with the magnetic stripe encoder for flexible credential issuance.
What makes retransfer technology more secure than direct-to-card printing?
Retransfer technology prints card images onto a clear film that is fused to the card surface, so the printhead never contacts the card directly. This design makes counterfeiting more difficult because attempting to peel apart the card layers destroys the image, and the retransfer film itself adds a protective layer. Retransfer ribbons with holographic marks further increase security by reducing replication capability.
What lamination options are available for the HDP5600?
We offer single-sided and dual-sided lamination modules for the HDP5600 in standard laminates for durability, UV-resistant laminates for fade resistance, and holographic laminates for added security. Each laminate type is also available in special configurations for smart card and magnetic stripe cards.
How fast can the HDP5600 print ID cards, and what warranty does it include?
The HDP5600 is capable of printing up to 150 cards per hour with a 200-card output hopper, reducing downtime and supply trips. The system includes a 3-year manufacturer warranty and a lifetime printhead warranty to ensure reliable operation throughout the life of your printer.
