High-definition printing with the Fargo HDP5000

By Vicky Radcliff|2015-06-23T17:08:12+00:00February 29th, 2012|

High definition printers combine superior print quality with security to produce sharp and detailed ID cards. The high definition printing process differs from that used by dye sublimation printers. High definition printers do not print an image directly onto an ID card. Instead, HDP printers print images, text, barcodes, and other graphics onto a clear film. A heated roller inside the ID card printer then presses the film to the blank surface of an ID card. The combined heat and pressure fuses the film to the surface of the card.
