Is the HDP5000 the right card printer/encoder for your personalized credential applications?
Take a look through the HDP5000's systems, features and specs, then consider these points:
1. High Definition Printing™ technology
Fargo HDP® — High Definition Printing — is the new standard for producing ID cards with outstanding image quality, reliability, durability and security. To help you decide between High Definition Printing and Direct-to-Card Printing, read the HDP - DTC Comparisons.
2. Functionality
The next generation of smart card applications takes advantage of both a card's portability and ability to interact with digital systems.
The HDP5000 prints and encodes multifunction cards in high definition for applications such as:
- Physical and Logical Security — High Definition cards protect high-security facilities and authorize access to secure networks and PCs.
- Personal Information — Smart cards can securely store data and ensure accurate ID for health care, entitlement programs and time and attendance.
3. Durability
Applying a holographic overlaminate or holographic HDP Film to the front of an ID card improves its durability and security. An overlaminate on both sides doubles the protection. The HDP5000 lamination module laminates both sides of a card simultaneously in one efficient pass.
4. Security
HDP cards are also very secure and tamper-evident. If a counterfeiter tries to peel apart the card layers, the printed image is obviously damaged. But remember than an ID card is only as secure as the system that issued it. Fargo offers hardware and software options that help you reduce vulnerabilities throughout the card issuance process, from storing blank ribbons to password-protecting printers.
5. Integration
So who can you trust to help you put all of this together? Trust the real-world expertise of an authorized Fargo integrator. Authorized Fargo integrators are a critical part of your entire card identity system — the people who make everything work and help you keep it secure. Fargo Professional Services works in tandem with your authorized Fargo integrator to provide expertise and product customization for large, sophisticated card identity systems.

Card Proofing Program:
To ensure reliable card printing and minimize installation time, let us test your card stock -- free of charge.
We will determine the printer dwell time and temperature settings needed to produce the best possible image for your particular printer and card design. We will also verify that your card composition is receptive to your printer's printing capabilities. The settings we give you should be considered the recommended starting point when setting up a printer to print cards.
