HID FARGO DTC4500e ID Card Printer & Encoder
The HID FARGO DTC4500e is a fast, high-capacity direct-to-card ID printer with a dual input hopper for high-volume badge production.

Quick Glance
Key Features
Dual Input Hopper Doubles Your Run Length
A 200-card dual input hopper plus high-capacity ribbons mean the DTC4500e can print up to twice as many full-colour cards before anyone has to stop and refill — built for high-volume badge production.
Enterprise-Grade Security, Including UV Printing
AES-256 encryption, password protection and resin scramble data protection are joined by optional fluorescent panel (UV) printing and optional locking card hoppers — a step up in security options over the DTC1250e/DTC1500/DTC4250e.
Scalable Over USB or Ethernet
The DTC4500e connects over USB or Ethernet for centralised or distributed issuance, and single- or dual-sided lamination is a field-upgradeable option as your card programme grows.
