HID Global Corporation 089640 HDP5000 dual-sided card printer 300 dpi 16 MB

Dual-Sided ID Card Printer for Organisations

The HID Fargo HDP5000 prints and encodes credentials on both faces of a card in a single pass. It accepts a wide range of media including PVC, PET, PETG, ABS, proximity, smart and magnetic-stripe cards. Organisations that issue staff badges, student IDs or access tokens will find the dual-sided output doubles usable space without manual reloading. The 16 MB buffer handles typical print jobs for small to mid-volume issuance programmes.

Sustained Operation and Modular Upgrades

High Definition Printing uses dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer to produce 300 dpi images that remain sharp on cards with embedded electronics. The modular chassis supports field-installable upgrades such as a second input hopper, single- or dual-sided lamination and additional encoding modules. Cartridge-based ribbons and overlaminates load quickly, reducing operator intervention during extended print runs. The SmartScreen LCD panel provides status prompts that keep production moving.

300 dpi Resolution Defines Image Fidelity

Print resolution is fixed at 300 dpi, which determines the sharpness of photos, logos and micro-text on every credential. Buyers who need finer detail for high-security elements or ultra-small fonts should evaluate whether this resolution meets their specification. The dual-sided engine, USB and Ethernet connectivity, and upgradeable encoding options are secondary to this single output metric.
