FEATURES
Solid metal cabinetry and precision-engineered interior components create a stable printer environment that operates reliably over continuous runs. In fact, the HDP8500 industrial card printer and encoder is loaded with features that maximize card yield per shift: multi-card processing capabilities, 400-card input hopper capacity, accessible card path and graphical touch screen interface, and built-in physical and electronic security features. These features are all designed to ensure continuous production, even in the most demanding environments. Combined with the included FARGO Workbench diagnostic utility facilitates printer maintenance. Its Color Assist tool matches spot colors, ensuring accurate prints of graphics such as company logos.
The FARGO HDP8500 ID Card Printer and Encoder features optional modules to provide you with additional security, such as the interoperable Lamination module; the Laser Engraver module for the highest level of secure card printing; and the Laser Writer module to create vanGO® cards that feature a unique visual security patch that writes the cardholder's image to the card so that it cannot be counterfeited. Also optionally available is the High Durable HDP film that can be used to create even more robust and durable credentials.

For high duty-cycle performance, the FARGO HDP8500 Industrial ID Card Printer and Encoder delivers:
​-  System reliability over continuous runs
​-  High-volume card throughput for maximum yields per shift
​-  Operational convenience to optimize uptime
​-  Issuance security that meets industry standards
​-  Additional on-card visual security with the HDP8500 LaserWriter module and vanGO ID cards to create a One-2-One™ relationship between the card and the cardholder that is nearly impossible to counterfeit
