Rent HID Fargo Card Printer (DTC1500, HDP5000) in Jakarta
Security card printer — HDP retransfer and HID access credentials
HID Fargo is a security-grade PVC card printer — the choice when cards must resist tampering and integrate with HID access systems. Rent the DTC1500 for office-volume direct-to-card printing, or the HDP5000 retransfer for sharp edge-to-edge output on chip and technology cards (proximity/iCLASS). It suits government, corporate, campus, and facility settings that need IDs with visual security features and smart-card encoding. Retransfer prints the image onto a film and fuses it to the card, giving durable, precise results.

What is HID Fargo?
HID Fargo is a line of ID card printers made by HID Global; FARGO is HID's trademark for its PVC card printers and encoders. These printers put photos, names, logos, and barcodes on credit-card-size cards, and can write data to a chip, a proximity card, or a magnetic stripe in the same pass.
The two models on this page represent two printing methods. The DTC1500 is a direct-to-card printer: the thermal head prints straight onto the card surface. The HDP5000 uses HDP (High Definition Printing), or retransfer: the image is printed onto a clear film first, and the film is then bonded to the card with heat.
As for age, both are older than people often think. HID introduced the HDP5000 in April 2008 at the ISC West show and launched an enhanced version in 2013. An HID product document from 2017 describes the DTC1500 as the newest member of the DTC family at the time.
HID Fargo DTC1500 and HDP5000 specifications
The figures below come from HID's official specification sheet for each printer.
| Specification | FARGO DTC1500 | FARGO HDP5000 |
|---|---|---|
| Print method | Dye-sublimation / resin thermal transfer direct to card | HDP retransfer (dye-sublimation / resin onto film) |
| Resolution | 300 dpi | 300 dpi |
| Speed per card | 6 seconds (K), 16 seconds (YMCKO), 24 seconds (YMCKOK) | Up to 24 seconds (YMC + transfer), 29 seconds (YMCK + transfer) |
| Card sizes | CR-80 and CR-79 | CR-80 |
| Print area | Edge-to-edge on CR-80 | Over-the-edge on CR-80 |
| Card thickness | 9–40 mil (0.229–1.016 mm) | 30–50 mil (0.762–1.27 mm) |
| Input / output hopper | 100 / 100 cards | 100 / 200 cards |
| Interface | USB 2.0 + Ethernet | USB 2.0 + Ethernet |
| Weight | 5 kg | 7.3 kg (10 kg with the dual-sided module) |
At Arental, you choose the method (DTC1500 or HDP5000), single-sided or duplex printing, and magnetic stripe or HID Prox / iCLASS smart card encoding; every unit connects over USB and Ethernet.
Direct-to-card or retransfer: which do you need?
Both produce 300 dpi colour cards, but they suit different jobs.
- DTC1500 for employee cards, student cards, and membership cards on plain PVC. The cost per card is lower because there is no transfer film, a colour card takes about 16 seconds, and HID offers half-panel ribbons for cards that are only coloured on part of the face.
- HDP5000 for chip cards, proximity cards, or thick cards up to 50 mil. These surfaces are often uneven because of the antenna or module inside, and the retransfer film covers them smoothly right over the edge of the card.
The DTC1500 also has built-in security features: a custom watermark in the overlay layer, resin scramble that hides resin data on used ribbons, plus password protection and AES-256 encryption. For building access cards read by HID readers, the HDP5000 with an iCLASS encoder combines durable retransfer printing with writing the access credential in a single process.
If you only need plain PVC ID cards without a chip, also compare the Evolis PVC card printer in our catalogue. Label printers and photo printers for event registration desks are also available in the printer catalogue.
HID Fargo ribbons, cards, and encoding
Ribbon codes such as YMCKO describe the colour panels: Y yellow, M magenta, C cyan, K resin black for sharp text and barcodes, and O a protective overlay. Ribbon capacity according to HID:
| Consumable | DTC1500 | HDP5000 |
|---|---|---|
| Full-colour ribbon | YMCKO 500 cards; YMCKOK 500 cards | YMC 750 cards; YMCK 500 cards |
| Half-panel ribbon | YMCKO 850 cards | Not available |
| Resin black ribbon (K) | 3,000 cards | 3,000 cards |
| Transfer film | Not needed | Clear HDP film, 1,500 prints |
For encoding, the DTC1500 supports 125 kHz HID Prox cards, 13.56 MHz cards (iCLASS, MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Plus, MIFARE DESFire), ISO 7816 contact smart cards, and magnetic stripes on tracks 1–3. The HDP5000 supports magnetic stripes, contactless iCLASS and MIFARE, ISO 7816 contact smart cards, and an HID Prox reader. Make sure the blank card type matches the door readers already installed in your building.
HID Fargo card printer price: rent vs buy
Renting an HID Fargo from Arental starts at Rp 140,000/day, Rp 350,000/week, or Rp 700,000/month, and an annual contract works out at an effective Rp 420,000/month. The model, print sides, encoding type, and card count set the final figure; describe your card design and headcount via WhatsApp so the quotation is complete, including ribbons and blank cards.
New and used purchase prices for card printers follow the market, so we do not list them. Many organisations only print cards in large waves, for example when switching access systems, enrolling new students, or running an event with thousands of participants, and the printer then sits mostly unused until the next wave. For that pattern, renting per period costs less. Rates for other printers are on the printer rental price page, and a guide to choosing printer types is on the printer rental page. The rental contract is drawn up in the name of a company, government agency, or institution.
