SPECIFICATIONSHID FARGO INK1000
Print MethodThermal inkjet
ResolutionUp to 600 dpi x 1200 dpi (23.6 dots/mm x 47.2 dots/mm)
Print ModeSingle-side
Ink TypeThe HID FARGO INK1000 printer utilizes a single ink cartridge containing YMC (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan) solvent-based inks for printing full-color card designs and barcode-readable composite black. The composite black created by the HID FARGO INK1000 can accurately reproduce even complex characters, such as Kanji, Arabic and Cyrillic. The easy-to-install, snap-in ink cartridge contains specially formulated inks that naturally adhere to standard, off-the-shelf PVC and composite cards—and because inks are inherently UV-stable, images and text exhibit improved fade resistance.

* Print speed indicates an approximate print speed and is measured from the time a card drops into the output hopper to the time the next card drops into the output hopper. Print speeds do not include encoding time or the time needed for the PC to process the image. Process time is dependent on the size of the file, the CPU, amount of RAM and the amount of available resources at the time of the print.

** Although HID has done extensive testing both with HID UltraCard™ cards and off-the-shelf PVC cards produced by other manufacturers, not every available card on the market could be tested/validated. HID Global recommends HID UltraCard-brand cards (UltraCard and UltraCard Premium). If the intent is to use non-HID-branded PVC cards, we invite partners to validate their specific card stock. End customers can arrange for a card sample test with their HID partner to ensure card compatibility prior to purchase. Please contact your local HID Sales Representative or HID Reseller for additional information.

***Three-year warranty available on printers with completion of online printer egistration. (Two-year warranty standard on printer without online printer registration.)
