Key Advantages

The DTC1250e offers fast card printing speeds, capable of producing up to 225 full-color cards per hour, which optimizes productivity. Its dual encoding capabilities allow for flexible card personalization in secure ID applications. The printer's modular design simplifies maintenance and ink ribbon replacement. It utilizes high-quality dye-sub ribbons that deliver vibrant colors and sharp image clarity. Its compact footprint and quiet operation make it ideal for office use. Additionally, Fargo provides strong software support and updates that enhance performance and compatibility over time.

Limitations

One limitation of the DTC1250e is its single-sided printing, which restricts it from printing on both sides of an ID card, limiting applications requiring duplex cards. The device uses USB 2.0 connectivity only, lacking modern network or wireless options found in newer models. It may not be suitable for very high volume card issuance environments due to ribbon and supply capacities. The printer's encoding options are somewhat limited compared to newer multi-technology encoders. It also requires specific Fargo ribbons, limiting third-party consumable choices. Finally, it does not feature a built-in card hopper for larger job queue automation.
