The HID® FARGO® DTC1500 is the latest DTC (Direct-to-Card™) printer/encoder to join HID Global’s family of DTC, desktop-based printers. The DTC1500 combines some of our most popular features from our existing HID FARGO DTC product line with new innovation to achieve an economical, yet high volume-capable ID/card printing solution for cost-conscious organizations. Designed for government ID projects, universities and colleges, K-12 schools, healthcare facilities, and small-to-medium corporations, the DTC1500 boasts of distinctive security features ideal for these organizations. Unique selling points include: - Innovative, built-in security features – Easy-to-implement security features such as resin scramble data protection and custom overlay watermark come standard on every unit. - Low-cost, high-capacity consumables – High-capacity, full and half-panel color ribbons significantly lower cost-per-card and reduce total cost of ownership. - Highly versatile – Powerful printing in a modular, scalable design that simplifies in-field equipment upgrades and migration to higher levels of security. - Earth friendly – GreenCircle® Certified for efficient energy consumption and eco-friendly (ECO) refill ribbons.

Features Include: - Innovative, built-in and easy-to-implement security features include: o Custom Overlay Watermark* – Users can apply 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. o Resin Scramble Data Protection – This feature hides any information printed with a resin panel – rendering the waste panel unreadable. o Additional Security – Standard password protection and AES 256 data encryption provide additional peace of mind. - Low-cost, high-capacity consumables* – High-capacity, full and half-panel color ribbons significantly lower cost-per-card and reduce total cost of ownership.  Resin threshold* - Resin threshold allows for true “K-panel” printing when desired by allowing printer operators to manually set and adjust precisely when the resin K panel is utilized based on color concentration. As a result, text and barcodes are darker and more crisply defined. - Environmental features include: o GreenCircle® certified card printer (base model only without encoders) o Rewrite technology – no ribbon required - Built-in, dual-side printing can be activated with the simple use of an RFID tag making after-purchase upgrades virtually effortless - Ethernet standard with internal print server (note: Ethernet optional on BIS-Certified Units) -Contact, contactless and magnetic stripe optional encoding available (optional) - Lamination available (optional) In addition, like all current FARGO DTC and HDP® printers, the DTC1500 includes our FARGO Workbench™ software and diagnostic utility for printer maintenance with Color Assist™ spot-color matching at no additional cost. HID's Swift ID™ embedded badging application is also included.
