Fargo DTC1500e

Designed for government, universities and colleges, K-12 schools, healthcare facilities, and small-to-medium corporations, the DTC1500 boasts distinctive security features. A built-in custom watermark overlay function allows for the application of a customized transparent security image — such as a logo, symbol or text — to be integrated as a permanent watermark within the printed card’s overlay panel, making duplication virtually impossible. The DTC1500 custom watermark provides organizations with a cost-efficient way to significantly increase card security and thwart would-be-counterfeiters without additional investment in holographic overlaminates or foil cards.

The DTC1500 also comes equipped with a unique resin scramble data protection feature, providing an additional layer of security by hiding any information printed with a resin panel. Standard password protection and AES 256 data encryption provide additional peace of mind. Beyond robust security, the DTC1500 offers innovative printing features such as resin threshold. Resin threshold allows for true K panel printing by allowing printer operators to manually set and adjust precisely when the resin is utilized based on color concentration. As a result, text and barcodes are darker and more crisply defined.

What’s more, built-in dual-side printing can be activated by simply using an RFID tag, making after-purchase upgrades virtually effortless. Due to its modular, scalable design, optional lamination or encoding modules can also be added at any time. Security, lower cost, innovation and versatility — they all come standard with the DTC1500.
