If your card printing needs may change in the future, you’ll want to look for an ID card printer that is field-upgradeable. Fargo and Magicard are known for offering easy-to-install printer upgrades. Check out a few upgradeable printer features below and see how easy it can be!

The Fargo DTC4000 offers a number of upgradeable features, including: duplex (two-sided) printing, Ethernet, encoding, same-side input/output hopper, and a dual-input hopper. The Fargo DTC4500 offers the same upgrade options, plus field-upgradeable lamination. To upgrade the DTC4000 or DTC4500, simply order and install the upgrade module(s). (Exception: A lamination upgrade will need to be installed by an ID Wholesaler technician.)

The Magicard Enduro and Magicard Rio Pro can be upgraded to duplex printing without the need for any additional hardware or tools. The duplex upgrade kit is really just a special roll of duplex YMCKOK film that simply needs to be dropped in to upgrade to duplex printing on the spot.

Back in the day, upgrading from a single-sided card printer to a dual-sided printer was not an easy task. It required an experienced printer technician to strip the printer down, install the dual-sided components, and rebuild the printer. As a result, many opted to instead purchase a new dual-sided ID printer.

Then Magicard said “ABRACADABRA!” and rode to the rescue with their upgrade kit to dual-sided printing! The Magicard Enduro/Rio Pro to Enduro Duo/Rio Pro Duo upgrade is a simple drop-in kit that’s really just a special roll of YMCKOK film recognized by your Magicard Enduro and Rio Pro ID card printer to instantly and magically enable two-sided card printing. This industry-first upgrade technology requires no additional hardware or tools; just drop in the kit and your printer will do the rest!

Note: The Magicard Enduro/Rio Pro duplex printer upgrade kit is a one-time purchase. To place a subsequent order for YMCKOK ribbon, please refer to the Magicard YMCKOK Color Ribbon.

If you have any questions or can’t pull a rabbit out of a hat, call our team of ID Magicians at (800) 321-4405.
