Fargo Persona C30e Single-Sided Card Printer

The Persona C30e revolutionizes the way we think about entry-level ID card printers. It's small in stature, and comes at an affordable price, yet still offers many of the same cutting edge features found in higher-end card printers. Best of all, the C30e is designed to make card printing easy, even for beginner users.

With the Persona C30e, you can produce professional full-color ID cards for a wide array of applications, for instance student and employee ID programs, and membership and loyalty programs. Include clear text, vivid photos, graphics, digital signatures, bar codes, and more. If you require further functionality, a range of optional encoding modules are available, including smart card and magnetic stripe encoding, as well as proximity card technology. You can also choose to include Ethernet connectivity for network operation.

The Persona C30e boasts a number of unique and exciting features, including the ability to print on rewritable ID cards, as well as thin cards. By printing on rewritable cards you can significantly cut supply costs while eliminating waste in the process. Rewritable cards are popular for customer loyalty programs, visitor badges, library cards, and more. Thin plastic cards, which are also compatible with the C30e, are now commonly used for health care, transit, membership, and loyalty card programs. The Persona C30e can print on ID cards from 9 millimeters thin to 40 millimeters thick, which means it can also handle cards with embedded electronics.

While the C30e offers a range of sophisticated capabilities, it's incredibly easy to use. Convenient features such as easy-loading integrated ribbon cartridges help to eliminate hassle, simplify operation, and ensure top-quality printing.
