Optional dual-sided printing Optional dual-sided printing

Dual-sided printing doubles the printable area of your ID cards. That means you can put larger photos on the front, and additional information, bar codes and digitized signatures on the back. Dual-sided printing can also make cards harder to counterfeit.

SmartLoad™ ribbon cartridge SmartLoad™ ribbon cartridge

The DTC400 takes the hassle out of handling printer supplies. Its SmartLoad ribbon cartridge combines the printer ribbon and card-cleaning roller into one disposable unit. Just slide in the cartridge, close the door and you’re done. No feeding or tearing ribbon rolls, no fumbling with separate cleaning rollers.

Optional smart card encoding Optional smart card encoding

Comprehensive security applications frequently combine photo IDs with some type of technology or “smart” cards. With optional modules, Fargo’s Professional Series printer/encoders can encode up to three smart card technologies in one pass: contact and contactless smart card, magnetic stripe, and proximity card (read-only).
