Product Description

HID FARGO DTC1250E FD AP Dual Side Plastic Card Printer — tired of slow card printing delays?

Waiting on ID cards disrupts offices, schools, and service counters. The HID FARGO DTC1250E FD AP Dual Side Plastic Card Printer targets that frustration with fast dye-sublimation output, compact handling, and dual-sided printing in one dependable unit.

Built for daily ID issuance, this printer balances speed, print accuracy, and operational control. It fits naturally into modern office workflows where reliability matters more than noise.

HID FARGO DTC1250E Dual Side ID Card Printer Overview

This dual-sided plastic card printer sits comfortably in the Office Equipment category. Within the ID Card Printer sub-category, it focuses on consistent output and controlled card handling.

The printer uses dye sublimation and resin thermal transfer technology. That combination supports sharp text, smooth gradients, and durable overlays.

Its compact footprint works well in offices, reception desks, and secure rooms across Bangladesh. Many buyers at PCB Store choose it for centralized badge printing without expanding floor space.

Print Technology and Real-World Performance

Dye Sublimation and Resin Thermal Transfer Explained

The HID FARGO DTC1250E FD AP Dual Side Plastic Card Printer uses two proven printing methods.

• Dye sublimation handles full-color images with continuous tone output
• Resin thermal transfer prints solid text, barcodes, and overlays

This pairing produces cards that resist fading and surface wear.

Print Speed Breakdown

Speed stays predictable across print modes.

• 6 seconds per card for resin black (K*)
• 8 seconds per card for black with overlay (KO*)
• 16 seconds per card for full color (YMCKO*)
• 24 seconds per card for dual resin black panels (YMCKOK*)

This matters in offices issuing dozens of cards per hour.

Print Resolution and Duplex Output

The printer delivers 300 dpi continuous tone resolution. Text remains crisp. Logos retain clean edges.

Built-in duplex printing removes the need for manual card flipping. That cuts handling errors and saves staff time.

Card Handling Capacity and Media Support

Input and Output Management

Card handling stays simple and controlled.

• Input hopper supports up to 100 cards
• Output stack holds up to 30 cards in single-sided mode

This setup suits small batches and scheduled print runs.

Supported Card Types

The HID FARGO DTC1250E FD AP Dual Side Plastic Card Printer supports common plastic media.

• PVC cards
• Composite PVC cards
• PET cards
• ABS cards
• Rewritable cards

This flexibility helps organizations standardize on one printer across departments.

Ribbon Options and Cost Control

EZ and ECO Ribbon Systems

Ribbon selection affects running cost and workflow speed. This model supports both EZ and ECO systems.

Both ribbon types offer:

• Full-color YMCKO*, 250 prints
• Resin black standard, 1000 prints
• Half-panel YMCKO*, 350 prints

EZ-only ribbons expand creative options.

• YMCKOK*, 200 prints
• KO*, 500 prints
• Premium resin black, 1000 prints
• Resin white, 1000 prints
• Gold metallic, 450 prints

Organizations in Bangladesh often choose ECO ribbons for reduced waste and lower long-term cost at PCB Store.

Memory, Size, and Physical Design

Internal Memory

The printer includes 32 MB RAM. This supports stable job handling for standard ID layouts and photo cards.

Dimensions and Weight

Space planning remains easy.

• Size: 8.8˝H × 13.7˝W × 7.9˝D
• Weight: 10 lbs for dual-sided configuration

It fits desks, cabinets, or secure printing stations without special mounting.

Connectivity Options for Office Environments

The HID FARGO DTC1250E FD AP Dual Side Plastic Card Printer connects via USB 2.0 as standard.

An optional internal Ethernet print server supports network sharing. This helps teams manage centralized printing across multiple departments.

Many offices in Bangladesh prefer Ethernet for controlled access and queue management.

Typical Use Cases and Industry Fit

This printer works best where card issuance happens frequently but predictably.

• Corporate employee ID cards
• School and university badges
• Visitor passes
• Membership cards
• Access control credentials

In service-driven environments, downtime affects trust. This model focuses on steady output rather than experimental features.

Reliability, Warranty, and Operational Confidence

HID designs this printer for routine office duty cycles. The mechanical structure supports frequent ribbon changes and daily card loads.

The product includes a 01-year warranty. That coverage helps reduce early ownership risk and supports predictable maintenance planning.

PCB Store customers in Bangladesh often pair the printer with genuine ribbons to maintain consistent print quality.

Why Businesses Choose This Model

Decision-makers value predictability. The HID FARGO DTC1250E FD AP Dual Side Plastic Card Printer delivers that through:

• Built-in dual-sided printing
• Stable print speeds across modes
• Broad card material support
• Flexible ribbon options
• Compact, office-friendly design

It suits buyers who prioritize control, clarity, and proven output over experimental upgrades.
