Secure Materials
The High Definition Printing materials for the HDP5000 deliver more durability and fade resistance than previous HDP formulations. That means fewer card replacements and lower cost per card. Fargo Secure Materials let you set the level of card security, up to high-security custom holographic overlaminates and HDP Film on both sides of the card.

Time-Saving Dual-Sided Lamination
For the most durability and security, the HDP5000 can apply a holographic overlaminate to both sides of the card — in one efficient pass.

Network Connectivity
The HDP5000 can fit seamlessly into corporate IT infrastructures. Its onboard Ethernet port and print server provide the connectivity needed for networked operations.

Encoding Options
Encoding options let you configure the HDP5000 to produce proximity and smart cards for just about any card-based application. Supported technologies include: HID® iCLASS®, MIFARE®/DESFi
