HID FARGO DTC1500 Card Printer & Encoder

Compact direct-to-card ID printer designed for organisations that need simple, dependable card printing without technical complexity.

HID FARGO DTC1500

The DTC1500 is built for organisations that issue ID cards occasionally or in small batches and want a printer that is easy to operate from day one. It uses direct-to-card printing to apply text, images, and barcodes directly onto standard PVC cards, making it suitable for staff badges, visitor passes, student IDs, and basic access cards. The focus is on straightforward setup, consistent output, and minimal maintenance rather than high-volume production. For offices, schools, clinics, and small facilities managing ID cards in-house, the DTC1500 offers a practical entry-level solution.

Why Choose HID FARGO DTC1500

The DTC1500 is suited to organisations that want reliable ID card printing without managing complex configurations. It supports clean, readable cards for routine identification needs and is easy to operate for teams without dedicated IT or print specialists. Optional encoding modules allow simple integration with access control systems when required.
