Revolutionary Card Lamination Modules make it
easier than ever to produce durable and secure cards.
Fargo offers you the option of adding single or double-
sided lamination — even after you’ve purchased your
printer! You can order a DTC525-LC with the Dual-Sided
Lamination Module, or the DTC515-LC with Single-Sided
Lamination Module factory-installed. Or, order a standard
DTC525 or DTC515, and add the module when your
needs change. It applies overlaminate to the front and/or
back of your cards — all in the same pass as your printing
and encoding! Plus, Fargo’s clear and holographic
PolyGuard Overlaminates provide up to 25 times more
protection than standard overlays.
User-friendly setup has you printing in minutes.
Everything about the DTC500 Series is user-friendly,
including setup and maintenance. It features plug-and-
print setup and simple, straightforward operation. And
installation is easy with the interactive printer driver
installer CD. If you need assistance, a “Help” button on the
LCD and a multimedia Online User’s Guide make it easy
to get answers at any time. Plus, flash upgradeable
firmware enables you to download new upgrades online.
With its powerful print engine and 4MB of RAM, the
DTC500 Series can breeze through 133 color cards, or
over 500 monochrome cards per hour!
The most versatile and compact solution for
printing, encoding and laminating plastic cards.
