HID FARGO HDP5000e ID Card Printer & Encoder
The HID FARGO HDP5000e uses high-definition retransfer printing — built on seven generations of HID retransfer technology — to deliver sharper, over-the-edge card images that stay consistent even on uneven card surfaces. Built for secure ID badge issuance in corporate, education and government settings, it is backed by a 4-year printer warranty with a lifetime printhead warranty.

Key Features
High-Definition Retransfer for Sharper, Edge-to-Edge Cards
The image is printed onto a film that is then fused to the card, giving over-the-edge coverage and consistent, true-to-life colour even on uneven card surfaces — technology HID has refined over seven generations across 25 years.
Modular: Dual-Sided Printing, Lamination and Encoding
The base model can grow with your programme — dual-sided printing, single- or dual-sided lamination, and magnetic stripe or smart card encoding are all field-upgradeable modules.
Backed by a 4-Year Warranty with a Lifetime Printhead
HID states a 4-year printer warranty with a lifetime printhead warranty on the HDP5000e, and the printer integrates with Asure ID and HID FARGO Connect cloud-based issuance software, plus standard Windows printer drivers.

Need-to-Know
- The base card-input capacity is not separately stated by HID on this page — only the optional dual input hopper and 200-card hopper are named. Tell us your expected volume and we will confirm the right configuration.
- HID’s current product page for the HDP5000e does not publish physical dimensions or weight, or an explicit USB connectivity statement (Ethernet is the interface named) — ask us and we will get the current figures from HID before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
The HDP5000e prints the image onto a film first, then fuses that film to the card. HID states this gives over-the-edge coverage and consistent quality even on uneven card surfaces — something direct-to-card printing cannot match on technology cards like proximity or smart cards.
HID states up to 27 seconds per card (133 cards per hour in YMCK with transfer), measured output-hopper-to-output-hopper — the figure excludes encoding time and PC processing time.
No — HID’s current HDP5000e page states TLS encryption, which is different from the AES-256 encryption stated on HID’s DTC-series printers. Resin scramble data protection and password-protected operation are also included.
It integrates with Asure ID card personalisation software and HID FARGO Connect cloud-based issuance software, and supports standard Windows printer drivers.
