Choose Color or Monochrome Printing

Most ID Card printers are designed for color printing, but monochrome printers are available on certain models.  Monochrome printers typically cost slightly less than the equivalent full-color capable model. Other than cost, there is no significant advantage to using a monochrome card printer. Any color printer can use monochrome ribbons and print single-color images.

However, in specialized situations, monochrome printers are preferred. For instance, if you are integrating your printer with a mainframe type system it may require use of a monochrome printer.

The DTC 1000M (monochrome) offers single-color card printing that renders clear photo images, bar codes and alphanumeric data on one side of a standard CR-80 or CR-79 plastic card. The DTC 1000M offers a cost-effective card issuance option for organizations–such as casinos, financial services firms, small businesses and retailers–that want to print using one color on their ID cards, membership cards or loyalty cards. Fargo’s DTC1000M also works great for producing low-cost temporary ID badges.
