Why Choose the HID FARGO HDP5000e Over the HDP5000?

The HDP5000e isn't just an upgrade—it’s a revolution. Here’s how it sets a new standard for retransfer printing, offering significant improvements over its predecessor, the HDP5000:

1. Increased Card Throughput & Enhanced Speed

One of the standout upgrades in the HDP5000e is its increased card throughput and greater Ethernet speed. If your organization needs to print a large volume of cards without compromising on quality, this printer delivers. Thanks to an advanced electronics platform, the HDP5000e handles high-volume print jobs with more precision and efficiency, producing crisper text and more vivid images faster than ever before.

2. Seventh-Generation Retransfer Technology

While the HDP5000 made waves with its excellent image quality, the HDP5000e takes this further with seventh-generation retransfer technology. This innovation ensures that every photo, text, and graphic printed is sharp, vibrant, and professional-grade. Whether you're printing photo ID badges or multifunctional, high-security credentials, the HDP5000e guarantees stunning, high-definition results with each card.

3. Built-In Security Features

In an era where data security is paramount, the HDP5000e has you covered. It offers built-in AES-256 encryption, protecting your sensitive data during the printing process. Additionally, the resin scramble feature renders printed information on used ribbon panels completely indecipherable, ensuring your cardholder data is safeguarded from fraudulent use. For organizations requiring extra protection, optional physical locks are available to secure card hoppers and consumables.


Flexible, Modular Design for the Future

The HDP5000e is built with versatility in mind. It offers a modular design, allowing you to expand or reduce your printing capabilities based on your organization’s evolving needs. Optional features include:

  • Dual-sided printing: Perfect for organizations needing to print on both sides of a card.

  • Single- or dual-sided lamination: Increase the durability and security of your cards with lamination options.

  • Encoding modules: Add smart card encoding or magnetic stripe encoding as needed for your specific applications.

With the optional dual-input card hopper, the HDP5000e makes managing multiple card types and large print jobs easier, enhancing efficiency without sacrificing quality.


Ease of Use & Enhanced Usability

What sets the HDP5000e apart is not only its powerful features but also its ease of use. HID has designed this printer to be user-friendly at every turn. The SmartScreen™ interface in high-definition OLED provides intuitive notifications and prompts for easy setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Even those with minimal technical experience can quickly operate the HDP5000e, thanks to the walk-through prompts for common tasks.

The printer also includes Workbench™ diagnostic utilities and the Color Assist tool for spot-color matching, all accessible directly through the printer driver for seamless control. Plus, maintenance is a breeze with easy access to the card path, film, and ribbon drawers, ensuring that even routine cleaning and ribbon replacement are hassle-free.


Unmatched Reliability: Built for High-Volume Environments

For organizations that rely on printing large quantities of cards, the HDP5000e is engineered to handle the most demanding workloads. Reinforced connection points and streamlined module attachments significantly reduce issues like internal card jams and misalignment. This design ensures that your card printing process remains uninterrupted, minimizing downtime and allowing for smooth, continuous operation.
