Specification Sheet
Get everything you want from your retransfer
card printer.
Built on six generations of proven retransfer
technology over the last 20 years, the new
HID® FARGO® HDP6600 from HID Global®
combines innovative, never-seen-before features
and patent-pending iON™ technology with
unprecedented print speeds — making it the most
advanced, ecient and fastest desktop-based
retransfer printer available on the market today.
Faster is better.
Only the HDP6600 produces high definition
cards, up to 230 cards per hour, and features HID
Global’s innovative iON technology for image
transfer and lamination — an industry first. Patent-
pending iON or “instant on” technology rapidly
heats the transfer roller and optional laminator
allowing the unit to reach optimal operating
temperature in just seconds, expediting the entire
retransfer printing and lamination processes.
Other lamination products can take up to five
minutes to initially heat up. With the HDP6600,
the unit is ready to produce high-quality
cards and IDs in under 60 seconds — virtually
eliminating that all-too-familiar long wait for the
first card. For laminated cards, this can mean
your first card is ready up to 80% faster than with
other products and can save you up to 20 hours
in wait-time per year on average.
High-volume performance.
Designed to meet the high volume needs of
medium-to-large corporations, universities,
healthcare facilities, government agencies
and service bureaus, the HDP6600 includes
support for high-yield, full-color ribbon and
laminate consumables — keeping costs at a
minimum while maximizing productivity. For
greater system capacity, an optional 200-card
input hopper is available.
HID® FARGO® HDP6600 —
The new customer demanded
standard in retransfer printing
High Definition Printing™
HDP® in 600 dpi delivers the highest
image quality layered on the highest
functioning cards. HDP film is fused
to the surfaces of proximity or smart
cards, conforming to ridges and
indentations formed by the embedded
electronics inside the card. As a result,
images and text printed on the card are
crisper and more vibrant.
Sharper, crisper images and text with 600 dpi.
Colors are vibrant. Images and text are crisp.
Quality is second to none. ID cards printed on
the HID FARGO HDP6600 card printer/encoder
do more than protect your organization — they
reflect the value you place on your brand. The
HDP6600 produces ID cards with the highest
image and text quality available, making it
a smart choice for any organization whose
brand image is paramount. Not only are colors
more brilliant and images sharper, but the high
quality, 600 dpi resin printing capabilities of
the HDP6600 give you the ability to precisely
print small text, complex characters and crisply
defined barcodes like never before.
Flawless credentials.
The HID FARGO HDP6600 is also right for
organizations that demand more functionality
from their ID cards. Encoding options allow
configuration of the HDP6600 to produce highly
secure contact and contactless smart cards
that address your specific needs. The HDP6600
can also print up to the very edge of smart chip
contacts and virtually over the edge of each card
resulting in professional and polished credentials.
The optional card flattener ensures a smooth and
level finished card every time.
Wasteless lamination for highly durable cards at
a fraction of the cost.
The HDP6600 utilizes HID Global’s innovative
wasteless lamination* technology, eliminating the
need for the standard carrier film and take-up
core included in most lamination consumables
on the market today. As the only desktop-based
retransfer on the market to oer advanced
wasteless lamination technology, the HDP6600
can substantially reduce high-volume laminate
materials costs by as much as 40%. Beyond
consumables cost savings, wasteless PolyGuard™
LMX overlaminates* extend the life of your cards
by providing the highest level of card coverage
protection available.
Dual-sided printer/encoder
Dual-sided printer/encoder with optional lamination
A flexible, modular system that can grow
with your needs.
The HDP6600 offers the versatility to
meet your card application needs today
and in the future. With add-on dual-
sided printing, encoding and lamination
modules, the system’s flexible architecture
lets you expand or reduce production
instantly. For greater system capacity, an
optional dual-card input hopper lets you
easily manage multiple card types and
higher card volumes, expediting even the
biggest production jobs. For one-step,
inline printing and encoding, HID Global
offers multiple, field-upgradable encoder
options. The HDP6600 also includes
an impressive 1GB of memory and a
comprehensive set of integration tools,
making it easy to use and easy to maintain
with only minimal training. Finally, because
the HDP6600 easily integrates with other
products within the HID Global portfolio,
you can leverage your existing Genuine
HID Technology™ investments.
