The central elements of an ID card system have been the same for a while now – computer, printer, cards, camera, cables, as well as the security features a card can have – holographic overlay, magnetic stripes, RFID antennas, smart card chips, bar codes. Most of the ID card machines available today are able to produce these kinds of security measures easily and at high rates.

But what about the security of the printer itself? Fargo’s advanced HDP5000 takes card security one step further with its SecureVault technology, bringing security not only to the finished product, but to the elements of the system itself. SecureVault™ technology combines access control and management software in a secure vault which holds and tracks the supplies used by the ID card printer – even notifying the end user when supplies are low and need replenishing.
This type of ID card security takes prevention against fake IDs one step further. Many fake IDs are made unscrupulously by simply slipping supplies past a responsible end user. The tracking system within the HDP5000 prevents this kind of illicit ID making, ensuring that only the end user is able to create cards. In applications where security is essential, this kind of guarantee can be a refreshing change. What’s better is that the SecureVault technology comes built into the system – it’s stored beneath the printer and computer.
Not only is the ID station secure, but the cards are cutting-edge. The HDP5000 comes packaged with an ultra advanced ID card printer with RFID and smart-chip capabilities, as well as high definition printing. True, it’s not meant for everyone, but the security features offered by the HDP5000 are unparalleled, giving many organizations the opportunity to secure their businesses in ways never thought of before.
