Fargo covers card printers, printer ribbons and overlaminate film here, so this page suits anyone specifying a system for staff ID, membership cards or access credentials. For lower-volume printing the C50 and INK1000 keep things simple, while the DTC1250e, DTC4250e and DTC4500e step up connectivity with USB and Ethernet on the dual-sided 4500e. If you need cards that resist wear or tampering, the retransfer models like the HDP5000 MK2, HDP6600 and their holographic overlaminate films are worth a closer look.
Match the ribbon to the printer before you buy, since the YMCKO, YMCKH, YMCKI and other options each carry a fixed image count and suit specific machines. Not sure which ribbon or model fits your setup? Get in touch and the Plastic-ID.com team will confirm compatibility with you before you order.
