Never hassle with ribbons or card cleaning again.
Anyone who’s ever operated a card printer knows the drill: loading ribbons can be difficult, separate card-cleaning mechanisms are a pain, and blinking indicator lights can be more confusing than helpful. The DTC400’s next-generation “one-way” loading design eliminates these problems once and for all. It’s the first printer to feature Fargo’s SmartLoad™ Ribbon Cartridge, our all-in-one print ribbon/card cleaning system. This handy, disposable cartridge installs in one easy step — just slide it into place and you’re done. Best of all, our patent-pending SmartClean™ Roller is integrated into every cartridge, so you’ll never have to deal with a separate card cleaning mechanism again.

Never again wonder what your printer is trying to tell you.
Another next-generation feature of the DTC400 is Fargo’s SmartScreen™ LCD Control Panel. Unlike other card printers that communicate with confusing, blinking lights (or worse, no status indicator at all), the DTC400 features a clear display of easy-to-understand prompts and commands. You’ll always know the status of your printing and encoding.

Think your needs might change?
Never fear, the DTC400 adapts easily to change with you. It’s difficult to know what type of card functionality you might need in the future. Don’t worry. Fargo lets you add encoding and/or dual-sided printing modules to your DTC400 as your security system grows. Order the DTC400 that’s right for you today. Then, rest easy knowing you can add a proximity card encoder, smart card encoder, or dual-sided printing module to it tomorrow.
