FARGO HDP8500 Industrial and Government ID Card Printer and Encoder

The HID FARGO HDP8500 industrial ID card printer and encoder is the superior industrial ID printer for extended-run, high throughput ID personalization and issuance. It's especially suited for large government ID card programs and laborious service bureau conditions, as well as demanding university and large enterprise environments.

 

Solid metal cabinetry and precision-engineered interior components ensure a stable printing environment that operates reliably over high-volume, continuous runs. Built for ease-of-use and ideal for even the most challenging environments, standard features include dual-side printing, dual input card hopper with a 400-card input capacity, built-in airflow and filtration system, canopy dust seals, internal temperature sensors, multiple in-line cleaning stations, accessible card path, user-friendly graphical touch screen interface and a FARGO Workbench™ diagnostic utility with Color Assist™ spot-color matching.

 

Compliant with the security requirements of government ID issuers worldwide, the HID FARGO HDP8500 incorporates a multitude of built-in physical and electronic security features including locking input/output card hoppers, lockable printer and laminator housings, AES-256 data encryption, printer password protection and a security resin erase feature that renders used ribbons unreadable.

 

Available options include dual card lamination (simultaneous), dual output module (400 cards), card flattener, Andon production status light, WiFi® accessory and encoding modules for magnetic, contact and contactless smart cards. Additionally, the optional laser engraver module (HDP8500LE) enables multiple card security attributes, including surface relief for tactile authentication, detailed micro-text as well as lenticular personalization for distinctive multiple laser images (MLI) and changeable laser images (CLI).

  • Maximum Security

    The FARGO® HDP8500 is compliant with the security requirements of government ID issuers worldwide, such as physical locks on the input / reject hoppers and protection of misprinted or misencoded cards in an internal reject bin.

    The HDP8500 provides highly secure print job authorization at the point of issuance, including AES-256 data encryption, a data-erase feature that renders information on used ribbons illegible, and a proprietary, secure link between the printers and consumables used in your unique large ID project.


    Advanced System Performance for Enhanced Security, Throughput and Durability

    In addition to demanding the highest level security features for their printer systems, governments need stable and consistent throughput as well as longer-life cards. HID Global delivers. The FARGO HDP8500 has physical locks on all access points to protect the ribbon and film consumables, as well as the cards, before and after printing. It offers secure PIN access to electronically lock the printer from accepting print jobs. It has several features for data protection. It uses advanced encryption standard (AES) 256 to protect electronic data, and it has a resin-erase feature to eliminate personal data on used ribbon panels. And it offers secure printing and laminating, including UV printing with fluorescing (F) panel ribbons, holographic retransfer film, and holographic thin films and overlaminates to provide up to three levels of security: overt, covert and forensic. The FARGO HDP8500 by HID Global has multiprocessing capabilities to greatly increase card yield per shift. The system can encode one card while printing a second card and laminating a third. It offers two additional print modes-along with the standard print mode-to meet your needs. Performance mode provides the fastest throughput speed of approximately 1,000 full-color, single-side cards per shift. Premium mode provides enhanced print quality for challenging images. Also, the HDP8500 has a patented dual input hopper feature, making it the only retransfer printer to allow automatic selection from two different card types without user intervention. Finally, the FARGO HDP8500 offers clear and holographic overlaminate patches in 0.6 mil and 1.0 mil to provide higher card durability and longer-life ID credentials.
