Laminating the cards makes them withstand daily wear and tear better, especially important for cards that are swiped frequently. Because the laminated cards last longer, your replacement costs for cards will be lower too!

Making your cards visually secure can come at a cost with other ID card printers, but not the Fargo DTC1500. With the DTC1500 you can create custom watermarks unique to your organization, printed using the overlay panel of your ribbons, at no extra cost and with no specialized supplies!

Why add a custom watermark?

• Identify authentic cards (popular with education and government programs)
• Identify fake cards that don't have the watermark
• Identify cards that have been tampered with and have ruined watermarks

Printer ribbons have a reverse image of what they've printed – keeping people from accessing the ribbon to see your cardholder data is why many organizations add a physical lock to their printer. With the DTC1500 printer you automatically scramble the data printed with the resin black panel, so no one can see what you're printing.

The Fargo DTC1500 ID card printer comes with a three year manufacturer warranty.
