Product Features

• • Innovative thermal inkjet printing
    The Fargo INK1000 printer is the next revolution for ID card printing. Featuring HID’s exclusive inkjet printing technology, this printer eliminates the need of costly ID card printer ribbons with a user-friendly YMC (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan) ink cartridge. With its intuitive design the INK1000 is as simple to use as your home office printer. The highly-specialized printer has been engineered to be compatible with standard CR8030 PVC cards – an industry first! Solvent ink (alcohol-based ink) easily adheres to the PVC card and dries almost instantly. The specially formulated ink supports enhanced UV-stability so you don’t have to worry about your cards fading like other direct-to-card printed cards.

• • • Smaller footprint & innovative design
      Keep your workspace uncluttered with the INK1000 card printer. Designed with a smaller footprint, this ID card printer easily fits on your desk or counter when space is limited. Unlike some other badge printers, the Ink1000 has a same-side input/output card hopper so loading and retrieving your cards does not require you to reach around to the back of your printer. An underside compartment for the power supply and excess cord storage eliminate the problem of tangled cords and freeing up valuable workspace.

• • • User-friendly ID card printing
      Similar to a traditional inkjet printer, the single ink cartridge (YMC) easily snaps into place replacing the need for costly ribbons and printheads. Eliminate common direct-to-card ID printer struggles such as ribbon misalignment or breakage and overuse of the printers printhead. The INK1000 printer is intuitive and relatable and requires no additional training or expertise to use. Additionally, the HID Inkjet printer is as easy to set up as a home-based inkjet printer. With the thermal inkjet printer, there’s no need to have a technical background – this printer can be used right out of the box. Simply snap in the ink cartridge like a traditional printer, and the inkjet printer is ready to go.

• • • Photographic-quality printing
      The Fargo 62000 printer provides photographic-quality images and crisp text and barcodes. With 600 x 1200 dpi resolution and endless color options with the YMC ink cartridge, your ID cards and badges come out looking professional every time. Logo and micro-text are easily legible with the inkjet id card printer, so your brand gets the recognition it deserves.

• • • Low maintenance & affordable printing
      The Fargo INK1000 thermal inkjet printer offers high-quality card printing at a fraction of the cost. The Inkjet replaces the need to deal with the hassle of a direct-to-card printer ribbon that only prints certain colors or, depending on your design, only uses a majority of one color. With the YMC ink cartridge, colors are mixed to create any color you need for your card – even black! Depending on the design of your card, a single-ink cartridge has the potential to yield significantly more cards than a ribbon-based printer. And with lower up-front hardware costs ID card printing is more accessible to entry-level organizations or cost-conscious businesses

• • • True edge-to-edge printing
      In order to protect the printhead of a direct-to-card printer, ID cards are printed with a white border around the edge of the ID card. With thermal inkjet ID card printing, unattractive white borders are eliminated with true edge-to-edge printing. Not only does the INK1000 print right up to the edges of ID cards but it can also print right up to the edge of embedded chips in smart cards as well.

• • • Secure printing with less waste
      Some card designs do not require the full use of a direct-to-card printer ribbon leaving entire sets of ribbon panels unused and wasted. With an Inkjet ID card printer, you only use the ink you need to print your cards and will not need to worry about printing through costly ribbon. And because there’s no ribbon being printed on, you don’t need to worry about the hassle of shredding your old ribbon that inadvertently stores your company’s data.

• • • • Warranty backed printing
        In the unlikely event of a failure, your printer is covered with the Fargo Inkjet standard 2-year warranty. With the completion of an online printer registration, your Inkjet ID card printing will automatically be extended for an additional year – that’s a total of 3-years printer coverage!

• • • • Optional Encoding
        With HID Fargo’s thermal inkjet printer, you no longer need to purchase a different machine for encoding and printing your cards. Instead, the INK1000 has the capability to be upgraded to a contacless encoder with Fargo’s modular drop-in feature. Simply drop the encoder into the back of your printer and your thermal inkjet printer can print encoded ID cards within minutes.
