Entrust Datacard Continues to Optimize High Speed Color Printing for Card IssuersEntrust (News - Alert) Datacard today announced the release of the Datacard® Artista® VHD Retransfer Color Printing module GEN 2. Designed to work inline with the Datacard® MX Series card issuance systems, this second generation inline printer module offers on-demand, 600 dpi full-color, edge-to-edge card printing for card and credential programs in the financial, government, retail, loyalty, and healthcare markets. On-demand color card printing effectively eliminates the need to preprint cards - a process that can consume weeks of production time. With this module, issuers can utilize blank white card stock and rapidly produce an entire run of individually distinct cards. This enables significant cost and time savings, and gives issuers design flexibility for printing cards. Building on the legacy of innovation of the first-generation Artista VHD module, the GEN 2 module provides users with enhanced capabilities, including:
The new module integrates seamlessly for current operators and existing card designs. In fact, the Artista VHD GEN 2 Module has already been beta tested with FIS Global, who is a current customer of Entrust Datacard. "We are very happy that we've been able to beta test this product for Entrust Datacard to see how it performs and works within our card operations," said Dennis Moore, operations support manager with FIS Global. "Entrust Datacard continues to enhance products for their customers and our operators have been thrilled with the second generation Artista VHD module. They do not need to clean the unit as often as they did before, and we've noticed the overall superior quality and appearance of the finished product - very crisp and clean images that are produced on the Artista VHD GEN 2 module."
