Fargo Electronics Launches HDP600 High Definition Card Printer/Encoder
Fargo Electronics, Inc. today announced the commercial launch of the HDP600 Card Printer/Encoder. Based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Fargo markets card identity systems that create personalized plastic identification cards complete with digital images, text, lamination and electronically encoded information. The HDP600 is a dual-sided, full-color printer/encoder that utilizes Fargo?s patented High Definition Printing? (HDP®) technology.
HDP is the preferred technology for the personalization of RFID proximity, laser and smart cards with computer chips. It was chosen by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for its ?Common Access Card? Project. The DoD is using the HDP600 for its deployable installations including shipboard, guard reserve and other mobile platforms. The HDP600 features a new compact design that?s 50% smaller and lighter than previous HDP models. It has been designed with simplified electronics for improved reliability and data communication. Plus, user conveniences such as drop-in, color-coded consumables make set up faster and easier. ?The HDP600 is the first in the line of Fargo?s Next Generation printers,? said Kathleen Phillips, Fargo?s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. ?These printers will move the industry to the next level in terms of reliability, value and ease of use in reverse image printers.? A Card Lamination Module is available as a factory-built or field-installable option. The lamination module applies Fargo?s PolyGuard? Overlaminate to one or both sides of the printed card for extended card life and added security and durability. PolyGuard is a polyester ?patch? that makes card designs tamper-resistant and protects them from abrasion and fading. A Magnetic Stripe Encoder and E-Card Docking Station are also available as factory-installed options. With it, the HDP600 can encode magnetic stripes, and encode or read up to three types of smart card technology: ISO 7816 contact smart chips (the world?s most commonly used contact smart card standard); MIFARE® and iCLASS® contactless smart chips; and HID proximity (?prox?) cards (read-only). ?The HDP600 is the printer of choice for anyone using a technology card in their card identity system,? said Phillips. ?Smart cards, optical memory cards and prox cards are typically difficult to print to because of their uneven surfaces. With High Definition Printing, users can print over the edge of cards, tightly around smart chips and on a variety of card surfaces. Plus, with the inline encoding module, there is seamless integration of encoding and printing on technology cards. ?The field-installable lamination module also makes the HDP600 a very versatile product,? continued Phillips. ?Users can customize their card identity system to fit their needs now, then add-on in the future when those needs expand. The option is a great value because users can upgrade their printer without having to buy a completely new system.?
