Fargo Electronics Launches The CardJet? 410 Photo ID System
9:13 AM
Fargo Electronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FRGO) announced today the introduction of the CardJet 410 Photo ID System. The CardJet System is a complete, integrated system for producing full color, professional ID cards. Based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Fargo Card Printer/Encoders create personalized plastic identification cards complete with digital images and text, lamination, and electronically encoded information. The CardJet 410 Photo ID System is the first dedicated plastic card personalization system that uses Fargo?s new CardJet Printing? technology.



?The CardJet 410 System is a complete, end-to-end solution,? says Joe Wright, Fargo?s Director of Product Marketing, Hardware. ?The components are state-of-the-art, tested and compatible. It?s a simple, reliable way to produce IDs for entry-level applications.



?For those customers using a cut-and-paste laminated card system, the CardJet 410 system offers greater ease-of-use, and produces a more professional looking, more functional card,? Wright continued. ?For those users considering a digital dye-sub printer, the CardJet 410 System is a strong alternative with its speed, quite operation and print quality. Plus the fact that it?s already fully integrated means the user has a seamless experience.?




The CardJet 410 Photo ID System combines everything needed to produce durable, personalized ID badges:

· Build-A-Badge software: This entry-level software package installs on virtually any Windows®-based computer, allowing the user to create and store customized badge designs, data and photographs in just a few clicks of the mouse. Users can choose from available card templates, or create their own designs. One installer CD contains all necessary system software and drivers, so installation is uncomplicated.

· Digital camera: This hands-free camera is easy to use and makes uploading photos simple and intuitive.

· CardJet 410 ID Card Printer: Featuring Fargo?s exclusive CardJet Printing technology, the CardJet 410 is the only desktop printer able to print on plastic cards with highly specialized thermal inkjet technology. The CardJet 410 delivers full-color, over-the-edge printing on a single-sided card in as little as 22 seconds.

· Supplies: The CardJet 410 System also includes a 6-foot USB cable, a 300-print color ink cartridge, a 900-print black ink cartridge and a 100-count card cartridge. CardJet Ink and Card Cartridges feature Fargo?s exclusive SmartLoad? technology, which utilizes a smart chip at the base of the cartridge to alert the user when the supplies are running low, and when it?s time to install a new cartridge.
