High-Performance Consumables and Visual Security Solutions
Ensure optimum performance of your HID FARGO DTC and HDP printers with precision-engineered ribbons, films, and overlaminates for secure and professional looking ID cards and badges.
Ribbons: Custom dye-sublimation and resin ribbons work effortlessly with HID FARGO DTC printers to produce clean, precise and colorful images and text resulting in secure and durable ID cards.
Overlaminates: Increase the life of your ID card as well as its security by applying Thermal Transfer or PolyGuard™ overlaminates. Make it virtually impossible to duplicate your ID cards by adding a holographic design to your overlaminate. And now, with HID Global’s new wasteless PolyGuard LMX for the DTC5500LMX, which utilizes wasteless lamination technology, you can simultaneously lower your consumables cost while increasing the security of your ID cards.
HDP Ribbons and HDP Film: High Definition Printing® (HDP) ribbons and (HDP) Film combine to produce durable and tamper resistant cards with crisp 600 dpi or 300 dpi images — even on the surface of technology cards. FARGO’s High Durable HDP Film option offers enhanced abrasion resistance for longer life cards.
Overlaminates: All FARGO HDP printers including the HDP5000, HDP5600 and the HDP8500LE also offer Thermal Transfer or PolyGuard™ overlaminates and optional standard or custom holographic designs. These features make forgery nearly impossible thereby increasing card security along with durability. HDP also utilizes the wasteless lamination technology of PolyGuard LMX for the HDP6600, allowing you to decrease your consumables cost as well as your printing time and carbon footprint.
Whether you have a DTC or HDP printer, HID® FARGO® consumables provide the tools you need to print quality ID cards efficiently.
HID® FARGO® Consumables Visual Security Solutions® provide effective solutions to combat ID card forgeries.
As the advancement of digital printing technology has made it easier to replicate ID cards, visual security solutions have become more important than ever to ensure unique and secure ID cards.

HID FARGO offers visual security solutions from 200 dpi resolution to the most secure 1,200 dpi resolution holographic images with the highest level of detail, which can only be achieved with high secure HDP film. Holographic cards are available for both DTC and HDP printers ranging from quick and affordably priced options to custom-designed foil images layered inside of the card rendering alteration or forgery virtually impossible.
