Fargo 84500 Clear HDP Retransfer Film (1500 Images)
Produce high-definition, edge-to-edge ID cards with the Fargo 84500 Clear HDP Retransfer Film. Designed for Fargo HDP5000 and HDP5600 printers, this film is a critical component of the retransfer printing process—allowing images to be printed onto film and then thermally bonded to the card surface.
Unlike direct-to-card printing, HDP technology uses this clear film to create sharper images, enhanced durability, and consistent print quality—even on uneven card surfaces such as smart cards and proximity cards.
The Fargo 84500 film delivers reliable, high-volume performance, making it ideal for government IDs, corporate badges, healthcare credentials, and secure access control cards.
