The Fargo DTC1250e is the kind of card printer that suits organisations with real, recurring ID card needs — schools, colleges, membership clubs — where output has to be consistent and the budget has to make sense. It prints full-colour single-sided cards in 16 seconds and monochrome cards in 6 seconds, with dual-sided capability built in for cards that carry information on both faces.

It's a straightforward machine to operate, which matters when the person running it isn't a print technician. EasyBadge Lite card design software is included, giving you a practical starting point for designing professional ID cards without needing specialist knowledge. A magnetic stripe encoder can be added — contact us for a quote if that's a requirement for your setup.

Also available in a single-sided version if dual-sided printing isn't a priority. Covered by a three-year manufacturer warranty.
