Pro-L’s Built-in Lamination Station Provides Heightened
Durability and Security for ID Cards

A high-speed, built-in lamination station is the main
component that differentiates the Pro-L printer from
the Pro model. With this  
feature, the Pro-L has
the capacity to laminate
both sides of a card and
implement any number
of advanced security 
features. This is 
accomplished by 
offering several different
overlaminate choices, including FARGO’s clear or
holographic PolyGuard

, which provides maximum

durability and protection from abrasion and color fading.
As the innovator of the built-in lamination station,
FARGO is the authority on this breakthrough technology.

Integrated Magnetic Stripe Encoding  
and Smart Card Personalization

With the advanced technology of Pro and Pro-L, 
you can include some of today’s most sought-after 
features in your cards. Both a smart card encoding
contact station and/or a dual high/low-coercivity 
magnetic stripe encoder can be built into the printer
and integrated directly into the printing process.
These options allow you to use
your cards for access
control, time and
attendance, vending
and more.

and easy replacement

• Printer driver-based color image density controls for fine-tuning 

without mechanical adjustment

• New industrial-grade print engine for fast, reliable printing

• Universal dual 110v/220v power supply for no-hassle plug-and-print 

in any country

Characterized by their unwavering reliability and solid construction, 
FARGO’s high-performance Professional Series Printers are expertly engineered 
for high-volume applications. The FARGO Pro and FARGO Pro-L have captured  
the essence of innovation and redefined the industry standard for card printers.

Solidly Constructed for Continuous-Print Applications

FARGO’s Pro and Pro-L Printers are built for unrivaled
speed and reliability. Rugged, durable and loaded with
high-powered performance features, these printers are
ideal for use in continuous-print applications.

Engineered for high duty cycles, the Pro and Pro-L’s
networking capabilities enable them to be networked for
high-end production with multiple printing stations. As
the original printers in the revolutionary
Professional Series product
line, the Pro and Pro-L
further enhance FARGO’s
position as the innovative
leader in card printers.

Rapid Printing Speed 
Takes You to the Edge

Perfectly suited for high-volume environments, the Pro
and Pro-L incorporate 4MB of standard memory and
are capable of producing large quantities of full-color
cards at industry-leading speeds. The Pro model
prints a full-color card in only 25 seconds. Pro-L, 
with its built-in lamination station, has the ability to

print and laminate

a full-color card in just 40 seconds.

Plus, when batch printing, Pro-L prints one card 
while simultaneously laminating another, thereby
allowing it to produce up to 180 full-color, laminated
cards per hour! 

Utilizing an advanced dye-sublimation/resin thermal
transfer print technology, Pro and Pro-L print digital
images onto either side of a card. Their 
edge-to-edge printing 
feature allows you 
to print photos and
graphics to the edge of
the card – creating an 
infinite host of design 
possibilities.

The Latest in Security Innovation – SmartGuard

and SmartShield

™ 

SmartGuard is literally the “key” to your security needs.
This optional feature allows you to easily encode a custom
access card which, when inserted into the printer, 
provides access only to those who have been authorized
to print. This patent-pending feature controls output and
provides accountability for the production of all cards.

The SmartShield option is yet another FARGO 
innovation (patent pending). This simple, inexpensive
option allows you to print custom transparent images
onto cards which reflect light when viewed at an
angle. Plus, for even higher security, these images
glow when viewed under an ultraviolet (black) light.
Either way, SmartShield images enhance card security
and help protect you from counterfeiting.
