The Fargo HDP6600 XE uses sixth-generation retransfer printing technology, which produces rich, vibrant, saturated color on cards. With retransfer printing, the printhead never contacts the ID cards directly—instead, images are printed on clear retransfer film that is fused to the card surface. This method enables full-bleed printing even on uneven surfaces like smart cards and proximity cards, and produces high-definition 600DPI resolution images with sharp text and crisp barcodes.
The HDP6600 XE warms up in just 60 seconds and can print up to 230 cards per hour. This speed is powered by Fargo's patent-pending iON (instant on) technology, which significantly reduces warmup time compared to other retransfer printers. The printer also maximizes efficiency by printing a card while simultaneously applying transfer film to the next card in line, speeding up large batch production.
Yes, the Fargo HDP6600 XE model includes dual-sided printing capability. The printer features a field-upgradable flipper module that allows dual-sided printing, providing extra space for additional cardholder information, barcodes, contact details, or duplicated front-side information. You can also add this module to an existing single-sided system at any time.
The HDP6600 XE supports CR80 cards with a thickness between 30 Mil and 40 Mil. The printer accepts standard retransfer film, high-durability retransfer film (three times tougher than standard), or holographic retransfer film with high-secure orbit hologram designs. All standard monochrome and color ribbon formats are compatible with the HDP6600 XE.
The Fargo HDP6600 XE is built with field-upgradable modules to meet your specific needs. Available upgrade options include contact and contactless smart card encoding, magnetic stripe encoding, card flattening, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The printer supports standard Ethernet and USB interfaces for centralized or remote ID card issuance.
