Description

The HID FARGO DTC4250e is a versatile, professional-grade ID card printer engineered to meet the security and performance needs of medium-sized businesses, schools, and local governments. Designed for fast output, it delivers monochrome printing in just 6 seconds per card and full-color YMCKO credentials in 16 seconds, supported by high-capacity ribbon options to minimize downtime. It features enhanced security measures—including AES-256 data encryption, user-defined password protection, and resin scramble technology to render used ribbon panels indecipherable. Operating the printer is made straightforward thanks to a SmartScreen graphical display and built-in Ethernet connectivity, while an optional same-side input/output hopper allows it to fit seamlessly into tight office spaces.
