Specification Sheet

Sharper, crisper images and text for any
organization.
Colors are vibrant. Images and text are crisp.
Quality is second to none. ID cards printed on
the FARGO® HDP5600 card printer/encoder
do more than protect your organization — they
reflect the value you place on your brand. The
HDP5600 produces ID cards with the highest
image and text quality available, making it a
smart choice for retail stores, recreation facilities,
and 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 HDP5600 give
you the ability to precisely print small text and
crisply defined barcodes like never before. The
HDP5600 also includes a built-in Workbench™
diagnostic utility and Color Assist™ tool to help
your organization better match spot colors on
company logos and service marks. Leveraging
the 600 dpi option, the printer can even
accurately reproduce complex characters, such
as Kanji, Arabic and Cyrillic.
It’s also right for organizations that demand more
functionality from their ID cards. Government
agencies, healthcare facilities, businesses and
corporations, loyalty and membership programs,
and colleges and universities are all expanding
their use of multi-function smart cards. Encoding
options allow configuration of the HDP5600 to
produce highly secure contact and contactless
smart cards that address your specific needs.
And print quality is never sacrificed: because

HDP5600
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.
high-definition film, instead of the directly to the
card, the often uneven surface of technology
cards won’t compromise image quality. The
HDP5600 can also print up to the very edge of
smart chip contacts and virtually over the edge of
each card so images are always sharp.
The printer’s Wi-Fi® capabilities also allow you to
produce high definition IDs anytime, anywhere.
A retail chain, for example, can distribute card
issuance over a network to any location. On
a corporate campus or university, an array of
printer/encoders can be set up in a central
location for high-volume production. The printer’s
Ethernet port and internal print server provide
the connectivity needed for virtually any
networked operation.
Proven fifth-generation HDP® technology and
reliability.
HID Global introduced high definition printing
(HDP) in 1999, and we’ve been perfecting the
technology ever since. The HDP5600 reflects our
commitment to customer-inspired innovation
and the evolution of our family of High Definition
Printing solutions. Reliable and robust, HID
Global’s fifth-generation HDP5600 card printer/
encoder oers the print quality your organization
can count on and the technology advancements
you want. What’s more, fifth-generation reliability
means more peace of mind and less printer
downtime -- and because the printhead never
comes in contact with card surfaces or debris, it’s
never damaged in the printing process. In fact, it
carries a lifetime warranty.
Dual-sided printer/encoder
Lamination and dual card input hopper options
A flexible, modular system that can grow

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. And for
one-step, inline printing and encoding, HID
Global offers multiple, field-upgradable
encoder options. It’s also the most efficient
with improvements at every level, including
64MB memory and a comprehensive set
of integration tools, making it easy to use
