Fargo 88500 HDP8500 ID Card Printer Dual-Sided - DISCONTINUED

Designed to meet the demand and security needs of large organizations, the industrial Fargo 88500 HDP8500 dual-sided printer delivers reliable, high duty performance and vivid, high definition printing. The Fargo HDP8500 dual-sided card printer is loaded with unique features, including dual input hoppers, a built-in air filtration system, and enhanced card and consumable material handling. Built-in security features ensure the system is protected from unauthorized use. Plus it includes a 3-year printer warranty and a lifetime printhead warranty.

• Achieve high quality results with high definition printing
  The HDP8500 dual-sided printer produces vivid, photographic-quality images. A traditional dye sublimation printer's ribbon and cards come in direct contact with the printhead which can affect image quality and even cause damage to your printhead if you are using cards with smart chips or embedded antennas and circuits. On the other hand, the Fargo HDP8500 printer prints on an HDP film that is then fused to your card via heat and pressure, producing a flawless image on any surface. It's an ideal choice for technology cards. Additionally, HDP also adds durability and protection to your cards; it acts as a 'buffer' from everyday wear and tear and is highly tamper-evident.


• Protect your card printing program with built-in security features
  The Fargo HDP8500 dual-sided printer offers the highest level of security available on the market. Physical locks on all access points protect the ribbon, film, and printed and unprinted cards. It uses advanced encryption standard (AES) 256 and a resin-erase feature to remove personal data on ribbon panels to protect electronic data. Plus, electronic PIN access can be required to accept print jobs.


• Get our high demand needs met
  The HDP8500 dual-sided printer is designed to meet the needs of large government entities, service bureaus, universities, and large enterprises. The printer has multi-processing capabilities to improve productivity; for example, the system can print a card while encoding a second card and laminating a third. Its heavy duty metal enclosure, powerful stepper motors, and dual input hoppers allow the printer to endure long print shifts with minimal operator intervention.


• Print in challenging environments
  Non-climate controlled areas, high heat, and dust are no match for the Fargo HDP8500. It is designed to withstand the most challenging operating environments. Card debris is removed with in-line cleaning stations, while airflow and filtration system, dust seals, and internal temperature sensors maintain optimal printing conditions within the unit.


• Create durable, secure cards
  The Fargo HDP8500 allows you to implement a number of card security features, including UV printing, holographic retransfer film, holographic lamination, and more. It also produces durable cards due to the retransfer film. Clear and holographic lamination provides additional card durability and security, plus you can optionally use an extra durable retransfer film for greater abrasion resistance.


• Connect your printer to your network
  Operate your card printing program safely and seamlessly over your network with the Fargo HDP8500's built-in Ethernet connectivity and internal print server. The printer is additionally fitted with USB connectivity.


• Operate and maintain the printer with ease
  An industry first, the Fargo HDP8500's 3.2'' touch screen display provides easy-to-understand status messages and instructions.


• Wifi Connectivity - Optional
  Add additonal connectivity to your printer with the Fargo WiFi module for ethernet connected printers. Adding the module allows your printer to connect to available wireless networks instead of requiring a physical cable (Add wifi module to your printer in the Options tab.)


• Extended warranty plans - Optional
  ID Zone offers extended warranty plans with satisfaction-guaranteed service handled by our in-house, knowledgeable technical support team. Our extended warranty plans include support via a toll-free number or live chat, total parts replacement plus labor, and fast turn-around on printer repairs.

  • Magnetic Stripe, Contact, and Contactless Encoding - as your technology needs grow, the HDP8500 allows you to add the card encoding options you need - even combining multiple card encoding options in a single printer.
  • Dual-Sided Simultaneous Lamination - efficiently laminate both sides of your cards with clear or holographic lamination for additional card security and durability.
  • Andon Production Status Light Module - this highly-visible printer status indicator light can be seen from across a room, for increased productivity.
  • Card Flattener - when using heat-sensitive PVC cards, the card flattener prevents card warping.
