Versatile, Secure, and High-Quality ID Card Printing

The HID FARGO HDP5000e Dual-Sided Printer offers exceptional flexibility to meet the needs of growing businesses. Its ability to print dual-sided cards in a single pass at 300 dpi ensures efficient production of sharp, edge-to-edge images with high-definition quality. For added security, the optional overlaminate layer protects cards against tampering, counterfeiting, and everyday wear.

Thanks to its refined reverse transfer process, the HDP5000e delivers edge-to-edge images that are both sharp and durable. The system produces up to 109 dual-sided cards per hour (YMCKK), ensuring a balance of speed and quality for large-volume operations.

Field-upgradable encoding options allow for inline printing and encoding, streamlining card production while supporting contact, contactless, and magnetic stripe technologies.

Modular Design for Flexibility and Ease of Printing

The HDP5000e’s modular design allows businesses to configure the printer according to their needs. Start with dual-sided printing and easily upgrade to include features such as encoding, lamination, or dual-input hoppers as your requirements evolve.

This adaptability ensures cost-efficiency without sacrificing performance. Whether you need enhanced security through tamper-evident overlaminate or the ability to manage high card volumes, the HDP5000e delivers a tailored solution that grows with your organization.

• Multi-pass support*: Refers to the printer's ability to handle cards that require multiple printing or encoding steps, ensuring consistent quality for complex designs.
