HID FARGO DTC1500 CARD PRINTER / ENCODER 051400

The HID FARGO DTC1500 Card Printer/Encoder is a professional direct-to-card ID card printer with an intuitive SmartScreen touchscreen, modular encoding options, and high-speed single or dual-sided printing for employee ID, access control, and membership card issuance across the UAE.

The HID FARGO DTC1500 is HID's mid-range professional card printer — positioned above the entry-level DTC1 II with a significantly faster print speed (up to 250 single-sided cards per hour), a SmartScreen interactive touchscreen that provides printer status, troubleshooting guidance, and consumable management directly on the device without needing a PC, and a modular encoder bay that accepts magnetic stripe, contact smart card (ISO 7816), contactless smart card (ISO 14443), or dual-interface card encoders as field-installable modules. This modularity protects the investment when card security requirements evolve: the encoding module can be changed without replacing the printer body. The DTC1500's SmartLoad ribbon cartridge design requires no manual ribbon threading — the ribbon is pre-loaded in a cartridge that drops in and locks, reducing consumable change errors and saving technician time in high-volume card issuance environments.

It is supplied to corporate, education, and government organisations across the UAE, with procurement-ready quotations and regional delivery.
