The 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.
Depending on your card design, a single ink cartridge may yield significantly more cards at a fraction of the cost of ribbon-based printing (250-1300 cards per cartridge). The HID FARGO INK1000 is equipped with a convenient ink estimator tool that will calculate approximate card yield per cartridge based on specific card design/image.
