DataCard has released a new series of systems designed to fit the needs of mid-volume card issuers. The DataCard 500 Series Systems offer many of the same features and functions of the company's larger solution, but in a more affordable mid-volume design.
According to Bonnie Lervik, senior vice president of marketing for DataCard's financial company, the typical application for the new systems include centralized issuance of credit, debit, ATM, and stored value cards as well as a full range of ID cards, such as loyalty marketing cards and insurance membership cards.
The 500 series includes two models, the 503 and 504. The 503 system can be configured with a PC-based software controller and a choice of three card personalization features. The 504 system can be configured with the controller and four card personalization features. Both systems will also offer an optional card delivery option, which allows card issuers to print forms, affix cards, fold forms, and insert them into envelopes. Inline capabilities also include embossing, indent printing, color-topping, graphics, mag stripe encoding, and smart card personalization. Up to 500 cards can be issued per hour.
