It's a question that large organizations, offices and schools often ask - do we really have to get a printer for every department? Thanks to networked printing, the answer isn't as scary as it used to be. Networked printers and photo ID systems, like our Single-sided ID Card system, make it easy for larger organizations to add efficient networked printing to their offices.
The Fargo DTC550 single-sided ID card printer is the star of our Single-sided ID card System, a printer that makes printing premium quality single-sided photo IDs simple. The DTC550 prints out single-sided photo ID cards blazingly fast - in just 7 seconds! The DTC550 doesn't just produce cards quickly, however, it produces them well. With 300 dpi resolution and an integrated ribbon cartridge designed to maximize printer quality and efficiency, the DTC550 is a reliable printing solution that consistently creates the best quality cards.
What sets the DTC550 apart from other printers, however, is its built-in Ethernet port. This feature allows users to make the DTC550 accessible from a Local Area Network, making it easy for users at multiple workstations to print to the DTC550 - even if they're not in the same room as the printer. This kind of flexibility can be invaluable for larger businesses, as it allows heads of multiple departments to print employee ID cards or student ID badges from one printer - an easy way to save both time and money.
