Fargo Dual-Sided DTC550-LC Printer

For secure ID card printing with lamination, the dual-sided FargoDTC550-LC is a workhorse. This printer is built to handle the high-volume print jobs of large companies and organizations. It��s capable of dual-siding printing and lamination, enabling users to print and laminate both sides of an ID card in a single pass. This saves valuable time, energy and resources.

The DTC550-LC features a lamination module that applies Fargo��s patented Polyguard Overlaminate to the card��s surface. Lamination provides enhanced security and durability, which is especially useful for multifunctional cards such as those used for employee access control, and student and government IDs. For even greater security, choose from Fargo��s holographic lamination designs.

Designed to operate in networked environments, the DTC550 features an Ethernet option with internal print server. This allows multiple users to access the printer from any secure network location. Connecting the printer to the LAN is no different than attaching an ordinary office printer. And for a higher level of network security, Fargo offers optional PrintSecurity software.

Flexibility is another key to the dual-sided Fargo DTC550-LC. The printer is designed to grow with your business. If your organization��s ID needs change, there are field upgradeable options for magnetic strip, proximity card, and smart card encoding.
