HID FARGO HDP5000e — Retransfer ID Card Printer – Your Gateway to Professional Card Printing.

The HID FARGO HDP5000e is a high-performance, professional-grade plastic card retransfer
printer and encoder — ideal for producing secure, durable, and high-definition ID cards, smart cards, photo IDs, membership cards and more. Built on seven generations of proven retransfer technology over 25 years, the HDP5000e raises the standard for print quality, reliability, security, and ease-of-use.

 Key Features

• Superior print quality & over-the-edge printing — Uses HDP® dye-sublimation / resin thermal transfer to print onto a clear film, then retransfer the image onto the card. This method delivers sharp, vibrant, visually rich credentials with 300-dpi resolution and full-edge coverage — even on smart cards or cards with embedded electronics.
• Flexible configuration & modular design — Base unit can be expanded with optional modules for dual-sided printing, single- or dual-sided lamination, encoding (magnetic stripe, contact or contactless smart cards), and dual input hoppers. This flexibility allows you to scale production up or down depending on your needs.
• Built-in security & data protection — Includes AES-256 encryption and resin scramble data protection, ensuring that printed data and used ribbon panels remain secure and unreadable. Optional locks are available for extra security.
• High throughput & efficiency — In batch mode, the printer can produce up to ~133 cards/hour (single-sided YMCK with transfer).
• Ease of use & maintenance — Thanks to the modern SmartScreen™ interface (graphical OLED display), users get clear, easy-to-follow prompts for setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Consumables (ribbons, HDP film, overlaminate) are easy to install or replace, and maintenance access is designed for minimal downtime.
• Versatile card support — Accepts standard CR-80 cards (85.6 mm × 54 mm), with thickness from 0.762 mm to 1.27 mm (30–50 mil). Compatible card types include PVC, PET, smart cards, proximity cards, magnetic stripe cards, memory cards, and more.

The HDP5000e is well suited for medium to large organizations that issue photo-ID cards or
secure smart cards — such as:

• Corporations and enterprises for employee ID badges
• Universities, colleges, and schools for student / staff IDs
• Government agencies and institutions needing secure ID / access cards
• Healthcare facilities, hospitals, clinics
• Membership, loyalty, or access-control providers
• Any business or institution migrating from direct-to-card printers to retransfer
  printing for better quality, durability, and security
