Datacard Group Enhances its Desktop Platform
November 2013 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Datacard Group announced significant enhancements to its desktop family—including new hardware innovations, as well as more secure supplies and overlays—to deliver an optimal mix of affordability, security and durability in government, corporate and school ID card programs.
After speaking with many security-minded customers and following extensive research and development, the company’s new market-driven breakthroughs include:
– The Datacard® SD460™ card printer and laminator;
– A new inline lamination module added to the Datacard® CD800 card printer;
– New unique, patent-pending tactile impression feature that makes cards more secure
– New serialized laminates with optional integrated bar code reader
In particular, the all-in-one CD800 card printer with laminator and new SD460 card printer uses direct-to-card printing, as well as encodes and laminates in one pass, offering better reliability and faster throughput.
In addition, with the new laminating printers, Datacard Group offers unique serialized laminates that work with the optional integrated bar code reader to enhance security and audit control of supplies. This helps deter alteration and counterfeiting of documents. This optional security feature is available with DuraGard® and DuraShield™ custom laminates and overlays.
