Fargo Persona Series Printers

The Persona Series Printers are recommended for low security applications such as VIP and Customer Loyalty Cards, Library, Employee ID for small companies, club memberships, etc.

The C16 (single side printing) and C25 (dual side printing) are recommended. These units have more "user-friendly" displays, which should translate into better productivity.

For the above applications with larger volumes (more than 5000 cards / year) the DTC500 series printers is also a good choice. The DTC500 series is designed to print longer with having to refill card and ribbon supplies.
