Product Features

  • Easy operation and maintenance
    The Fargo single-sided DTC400e printer provides hassle-free supplies loading that even the non-technical user can appreciate. Its all-in-one cartridge combines the ribbon and cleaning roller into a single, convenient assembly, saving you both time and the messy hassle of torn, wasted ribbons and separate card cleaning mechanisms. The single-sided DTC400e printer verifies that you've inserted the correct ribbon cartridge and will alert you if you haven't.

  • Auto-cleaning of each card
    The cleaning roller for the Fargo 54100 printer auto cleans each card before it comes in direct contact with the printhead. Because the cleaning mechanism is included with each new ribbon cartridge, you are effortlessly performing a crucial step in protecting your printhead and maintaining high quality results.

  • Intuitive LCD panel
    Don't live in confusion with another card printer's blinking LED indicator lights. With the DTC400e printer's LCD control panel, you'll always know the status of your printing process with its easy-to-follow message prompts and commands.

  • Printing on a variety of card types
    Print superb results on a variety of card types and materials. The DTC400e features color printing enhancements that produce true-to-life photos, and sharp text and images.
