	Code: FARHDP600 View spec sheet		FARGO HDP600 The Fargo HDP600 is a high-definition, duplex, retransfer card printer and encoder. Designed to print technology-rich cards, this user-friendly device easily handles the ridges and indentations caused by internal RFID antennae, integrated circuits and smart chips, without loss of print consistency. Fargo's patented High Definition Printing technology ensures that there is never any contact between the print head and card, so there is no chance of damaging the internal electronics of the card. It will even print right to the edge of a smart chip and can print over the edge of a CR80 (credit card size) card. Clamshell cards of varying thicknesses (0,76 to 1,778mil) are also handled with ease. Print time is less than one minute (YMCKO/transfer). Optional, field-upgradable encoding units (Mifare/HID iClass and proximity and contact smart card) are available. Cards can be printed and encoded in a single pass, ensuring the cards are always encoded in order. A lamination unit can be added at a later stage to enable the application of a clear or holographic overlaminate to the cards for additional security and durability - see description below. Connectivity: USB only (parallel port to be included shortly). Drivers: Windows 2000 and XP.
	Code: FARHDP600LC View spec sheet		FARGO HDP600-LC Featuring the same specification as the standard 600 (above), the HDP600-LC includes a factory-installed card lamination module. This module applies a tough PET overlaminate to the front and/or back of the card within the same pass as printing and encoding for added protection, thereby extending the life of the card and reducing the need for replacement cards. The overlaminate can be clear or include a unique security hologram or OVD. The driver provides direct control of lamination, with an adjustable card flattener to eliminate card 'bowling'. Incorrectly encoded cards are automatically ejected into the in-built card reject hopper. To purchase the HDP600 lamination station separately, please quote product code FARHDP600-LSTN.
	Code: FAR83300 View spec sheet		FARGO HDP800 The Fargo HDP800 series (high-definition printing) are re-transfer card printers, which provide exceptional print quality on a variety of card substrates. The print is placed onto a carrier film, which is transferred to the card, producing excellent results, with the print bleeding right to the card's edges. Graphics and text are printed on the underside of the HDP film, 'sandwiching' the image between the card and the film, resulting in durable, virtually tamper-proof cards. HDP printed cards do not leak colour onto plastic holders and are highly resistant to fading and chemical exposure. The HDP prints onto many cards, including standard, magstripe, proximity, smart and oversized cards. An output stacker and Fargo's SmartGuard™ smart card user key are also included. Drivers: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT and 2000 (optional Macintosh soon).
