The HID FARGO INK1000 is the first desktop ID card printer to use popular inkjet technology – just like a normal office printer or copier!

The printer is easy to use, just like any other inkjet printer, but the difference is that this printer is capable of printing onto ordinary PVC cards. There’s no need to use a specific card type – it will print onto the same PVC cards that you would use with any other plastic card printer.

Achieve brilliant colours and print resolution with the FARGO INK1000. 600 dpi x 1200 dpi print resolution makes for crisp text, barcodes and sharp photos.

So, what’s the benefit of inkjet technology over dye sublimation? Simply, less wastage, greater sustainability! The ribbon cassettes used in other printers can sometimes result in wasted panels, equalling wasted prints. With inkjet technology, the ribbon cassettes are replaced by efficient ink cartridges, much like a typical office or home inkjet printer. There’s less plastic waste created by using ink cartridges over ribbon cassettes, and makes a more sustainable option for small to medium organisations that don’t print large quantities of cards. 

Another benefit of ink cartridges over ribbon cassettes is that instead of data being transferred onto the used ribbon panels, ink cartridges don’t pick up any printed data and therefore eliminate a potential GDPR breach, however small it may be.

The INK1000 is a compact and stylish printer with a neutral design that seamlessly blends into any office environment.

The printer has an optional OMNIKEY 5127CK-Mini card encoding module that can be used to produce access control cards, cashless vending cards, gift and loyalty cards and much more.
