HID Fargo HDP5000e ID card Printer

The HID Fargo HDP5000e is the modernized successor to the industry’s most popular retransfer card printer, the legendary HDP5000. Utilizing High Definition Printing™ (HDP) reverse-transfer technology, the HDP5000e first prints the card image in reverse onto a clear intermediate film, which is then thermally fused onto the card surface. This retransfer process ensures flawless true over-the-edge printing without any white border margins, even on uneven surfaces caused by embedded smart chips, proximity antennas, and magnetic stripes. The HDP film provides an additional layer of natural physical protection against abrasion and UV degradation, extending card life up to three times longer than standard direct-to-card prints.
