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.

FARGO DTC4250e ID Card Printer Overview
The FARGO® DTC4250e is a direct-to-card ID card printer built for medium-volume card programmes in businesses, schools and local government where a single desktop unit needs to handle both full-colour photo ID and optional technology card encoding. It suits operations that issue employee badges, student cards, membership credentials and access control cards regularly enough to need a dependable workhorse, but not in the kind of volume that demands industrial equipment. What sets the DTC4250e apart within the HID FARGO range is its modular design: encoding capability, dual-sided printing and an expanded input hopper can all be added in the field as your programme grows, so you’re not locked into a fixed specification from day one.

Warranty documentation
Print quality and speed for a working card programme
The DTC4250e prints a full-colour YMCKO card in 16 seconds. For operations that produce employee badges or student cards in batches, that translates to roughly 225 cards per hour. Monochrome runs are considerably faster at 6 seconds per card, which suits visitor passes, membership cards and any job where a single-colour design gets the work done.
Print resolution sits at 300 dpi with continuous tone output, so photos, logos and barcode graphics all come out cleanly at card size. The Color Assist tool inside FARGO Workbench handles spot-colour matching, which is useful when a company logo needs to print accurately against a specific brand colour...
FARGO HDP6600 Retransfer ID Card Printer
The HID FARGO HDP6600 is a high-definition retransfer printer built for organisations that need sharp, durable cards in volume, such as government departments, hospitals, universities and large employers. It prints at 600 dpi, so fine text and detailed photos stay crisp.Compatible ribbons: FARGO HDP6600 printer ribbons, part of our full range of FARGO printer ribbons.
Why retransfer?
Instead of printing straight onto the card, the HDP6600 prints onto a clear film and then fuses that film to the card surface. The result is true edge-to-edge printing with no white border, richer colour and a tougher finish. It also prints cleanly over the uneven surface of smart cards and proximity cards.
Key features
600 dpi high-definition retransfer printing
Single-sided as standard, with a double-sided option
Up to 230 single-sided cards per hour
100-card input hopper and 200-card output hopper
