The easiest way to personalize secure ID cards

Fargo DTC400 Series Direct-to-Card Printer/Encoders make issuing ID cards a remarkably simple, smooth and virtually maintenance-free process. And their capabilities expand with your needs.

When you use our Windows®-compatible Print Security Suite software, the DTC400 Series is not only the most user-friendly in its class, it’s also the most secure. Print Security Suite gives you control over printer access, notifies you of unauthorized printing, adds covert security elements to cards, and more.

Never hassle with ribbons or card cleaning again

An all-in-one print ribbon/card cleaning system – the SmartLoad™ Ribbon Cartridge – installs in one easy step. A SmartClean™ Roller is integrated into every cartridge, eliminating the need for a separate card-cleaning mechanism.

understand prompts and commands, so you’ll always know the exact status of your print jobs.

Add encoding and/or dual-sided printing modules to your DTC400 as your security system grows. Order the DTC400 that’s right for you today; and rest easy, knowing you can add card encoding and dual-sided printing modules to it

Dual-sided printing module
Card identity security starts with Print Security Suite from Fargo.

Print Security Suite is a collection of five powerful, user-friendly applications that help you control and monitor the use of your DTC400 printer/encoder, add covert Security Imaging features to your cards, collect helpful print diagnostic information, and even order Fargo Secure Materials online.

The DTC 400 uses Fargo’s Direct - to - Card (DTC®) Technology to print sharp, colorful photos and graphics as well as bar codes and digitized signatures.


It is the most user-friendly card printer in its class and provides exceptional print quality, edge to edge printing and high card durability.


It can print up to 16.7 million colours on one side of the card. It takes only 27 seconds to print a single side full - colour card.


It is field- upgradeable as your needs grow. You can add the Dual Side printing module or Magnetic Card Encoding Module at any time.


The SmartLoad Ribbon Cartridge saves time and eliminates the expense of torn, wasted ribbons. All you need to do is slide the cartridge into the printer, close the door and start printing.


Disposable integrated ribbon cartridge: automatically replaces Cleaning Roller with each new ribbon used.


The roller maintains your print quality while protecting the print head. It automatically removes potentially damaging dust and debris from each card before it is printed.


Display: is an easy-to-read, backlit LCD Control Panel. The DTC 400 is the only card printer in its class that replaces confusing indicator lights with clear, easy-to-understand prompts and commands on its SmartScreen LCD Control Panel.

An effective and affordable first layer of defense

The DTC400 Series printer/encoder is designed to help you easily and affordably produce secure plastic ID cards that pose tough challenges to would-be counterfeiters. Fargo Secure HoloMark™ and VeriMark™ cards provide a highly effective first line of defense. These cards feature a tamper-resistant, instantly verifiable foil, permanently embedded on each card, which dramatically increases card security compared to unmarked, easily replicated white cards.

Both HoloMark and VeriMark cards are compatible with DTC400 Series printer/encoders.

HoloMark™ Cards

A holographic image embedded into the card surface provides the highest level of non-laminated card security. Specify a standard hologram, or turn a custom graphic into a one-of-a-kind holographic image.

VeriMark™ Cards

Add personalized text or graphics onto a silver metallic foil for a durable, distinctive and cost-effective visual counterfeit deterrent.
