Built to withstand large print volumes required by organizations, the DTC4500e Single-Sided Card Printer from Fargo comes equipped with a variety of features that will allow users to quickly produce ID cards that suit their needs. This direct-to-card printer uses dye sublimation and thermal transfer technology to produce CR-80 and CR-79 adhesive backed cards with a 300 dpi resolution. Also, this system allows for fast print speeds of 16 seconds per card in YMCKO and 6 seconds per card in monochrome.
This model can print single-sided and edge-to-edge for optimum quality. Batch jobs are simplified by the use of a 200-card input hopper and a 100-card output hopper. The same-side hopper enables the use of a 100-card reject hopper to hold misprints and incorrectly programmed cards.
Checking print status is easy with a SmartScreen graphical display on the front panel and the inclusion of the embedded Swift ID card badging for quickly making ID cards and the Fargo Workbench with Color Assist tool for diagnostics and matching colors for accurate prints. Additionally, the printer has both USB 2.0 and Ethernet connectivity options with an internal print server for secure printing.

💔My dogs are throwing up and diarrhea BLOOD!
Size: Whole Ears (Pack of 22)
Salmonella
I have 5 dogs. On Thursday, July 17, I received a package of pig ears from this company. This was not the first time my dogs had pig ears but it was the first time I purchased from you. My dogs were each given a pig ear. Within 24 hours, all of my dogs were throwing up and diarrhea. By Saturday, all 5 of my dogs were throwing up straight blood and diarrhea straight blood!!! Puddles! It was horrifying and looked like a crime scene in my house!!! My husband and I were hysterical! My dogs were so weak and lethargic, and sick! 4 of my dogs are under 10lbs and were in the emergency vet getting an IV and fighting for life, as well as my 10 year old American Staff rescue who has a weak immune system because she fought heartworms a year and a half ago before we adopted her. It is currently Monday morning and our nightmare hasn't ended! My husband and I, both work, and have literally not slept since! 24 hours a day we are cleaning up after dogs - vomit, diarrhea, and tons of it! From each! Last night my smallest dachshund threw up 16 times in 15 minutes - on my bed, lap, floor, everywhere! Blood! We are torn- are lives are shattered! In the blink of an eye all because we thought we were spoiling our dogs and giving them a treat! Now they are fighting for life! We have spent thousands at the emergency vet for all of them! We still don't know if they are going to make it! We are so devastated and feel so helpless watching them! We try to console them but how do you console all 5 at once and what do you do when they don't understand & they are so weak and miserable and blood is coming out of their bodies faster than you can clean it! I think it is important for people to be aware! After researching, I found out that this company had a salmonella outbreak across 45 states in 2019.

Dogs love them but they are small.
Size: Half-cut (Pack of 50), Size: Half-cut (Pack of 50)
They are good quality but probably shouldn’t be marketed toward medium size dogs. A good portion of them are very small which is disappointing.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value.
By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!
