Key benefits of FARGO HDP5000e

• High-level performance - With an increased card throughput and greater Ethernet speed than its HDP5000-series predecessors, the HDP5000e also boasts an advanced electronics platform ensuring faster and more precise control over the printing process, resulting in crisper text and more vivid imagery. Additionally, the printer’s enhanced memory and processing capabilities allow for more efficient handling of print jobs, especially in high-volume environments.
• Exceptional reliability - From its reinforced connection points to its streamlined module attachment, the HDP5000e is designed for dependability inside and out. The printer’s connectivity reinforcements strengthen and protect USB, Ethernet and power cable connection points while the printer’s streamlined module attachment helps eliminate common issues such as internal card jams and misalignment.
• Usability enhancements at every turn - The HDP5000e’s user-friendly SmartScreen™ interface in high-definition, graphical OLED provides easy-to-understand notifications and helpful, walk-through prompts for setup, maintenance and troubleshooting. What’s more, the printer’s Workbench™ diagnostic utility with its colour Assist spot-colour matching tool is conveniently built right into the printer driver so users have immediate access to everything they need via a single driver download. Should maintenance be required, the HDP5000e’s thoughtful design allows for easy, hassle-free access to the card path, main board, and film and ribbon drawer assemblies without the need for tools or special expertise.
• Security from end to end - The printer’s unique and inclusive resin scramble data protection feature effectively scrambles and subsequently conceals information printed with a resin panel. Used ribbon panels are thus rendered indecipherable, safeguarding cardholder data from fraudulent use. Moreover, the HDP5000e includes built-in AES-256 data encryption, support for UV printing and offers optional locks for additional peace of mind.
