The Fargo HDP8500 is the most reliable, high-duty performance ID card printer in the industry! Features High Definition Printing (HDP®) technology, making it the superior industrial ID card printer for extended-run, high throughput credential ID card personalization and issuance, and it’s especially suited for the high duty cycle requirements of large government ID card programs, laborious service bureau conditions and demanding university and large enterprise environments.

The HDP8500 has been designed for networking and can issue ID cards from multiple sites, centrally and remotely and with an Ethernet port and internal print server the HDP8500 can be securely networked to produce high volumes of ID cards in continuous batch runs, sharing one or more common or centrally managed databases. The system can encode one card while printing a second card and laminating a third and offers two additional print modes to the standard print mode in order to meet your needs. Performance mode provides the fastest throughput speed of 1,200 full-color (YMC) single-side cards in an 8-hour work cycle. While Premium mode provides enhanced print quality for challenging images with the finest detail previously not possible by other HDP printers.

Global Fargo HDP8500The FARGO HDP8500 uses HDP technology to print a dye-sublimation image onto an intermediate transfer film that is then retransferred onto the card surface. This flexible technology works with a wider choice of card materials, is more resistant to identity adulteration and attack, and is the optimal choice for smart card printing or any other type of technology card because it easily handles surface or embedded electronics irregularities.

The FARGO HDP8500 ID card printer is also designed to safeguard against the most challenging operating environments. Its airflow and filtration system, canopy dust seals and internal temperature sensors maintain ideal printing conditions in the harshest environments. This limits dust from settling inside printer and blows it out which limits downtime from typical card printer servicing. Multiple in-line cleaning stations eliminate unexpected blank card surface debris and a special cover protecting the card path sensors help to prevent defective card prints and printer jams. Powerful stepper motors provide improved card handling over long print shifts and the printer’s gearbox design, metal shaft spindle components and supply cartridges ensure reliable consumable materials handling.

The FARGO HDP8500 has physical locks on all access points to protect the Fargo printer ribbon and film consumables, as well as the cards, before and after printing and it offers secure PIN access to electronically lock the printer from accepting illegal print jobs. It uses advanced encryption standard (AES) 256 to protect electronic data and a resin-erase feature can be used to eliminate personal data on used ribbon panels. The HDP8500 offers secure printing and laminating using UV printing with fluorescing (F) panel ribbons, holographic retransfer films, and holographic thin films and overlaminates to provide up to three levels of security: overt, covert and forensic.
