Digital ID EDIsecure DCP 360i Duplex Direct Card Printer
The duplex EDIsecure DCP 360i professional direct card printer was developed for industrial needs and is prepared for plug-and-play inline lamination.
Direct Card printing technology involves a process of dye sublimation that uses a dye-based ribbon partitioned into a consecutive number of panels. These panels are grouped into a repeating series of colors - yellow, magenta, cyan, and a carbon (or resin) black (YMCK) - all along the length of the ribbon. During printing, a thermal printhead heats the dyes on the ribbon, vaporizing and permeating the surface of the card. A separate pass is made for each of the three dye-sub color panels. By combining the colors and varying the heat used to transfer them, the printer is able to produce up to 16.7 million colors!
Speed and Ease-of-Use
The EDIsecure DCP 360i professional direct card printer has the first portrait mode printing engine of its kind, making it the fastest full-color direct card printer on the market. With an extremely impressive print speed of 19 seconds per four-color side, you can print more than 180 full-color cards an hour! A front loadable color ribbon cartridge system makes daily handling of the printer very easy. A powerful printer driver with a graphical user interface helps you route and control your print jobs. Ongoing development of the printer driver ensures that you are always working with the latest features in this state-of-the-art product. The card dispenser holds 100 standard CR80 cards with a 30 mil thickness, and the output hopper receives the same number. This allows for easy use, even overnight without operator supervision.
Powerful Options
An EDIsecure DCP 360i professional direct card printer is a long-term investment due to the field upgradeable optional encoder for magnetic stripes (HiCo and LoCo). The professional encoding module holds the card tight while the magnetic head moves along the magnetic stripe. This provides for highest quality, scratch- and jitter-free encoding. In addition, the printer is prepared for easy upgrade to various contact and contactless chip encoding options (e.g., Legic, MIFARE, HID, etc.).
Absolutely unique is the plug-and-play lamination option with the EDIsecure Inline Lamination Unit (ILU), ready for single- or double-sided lamination. Even when printing double-sided in full color and laminating on both sides, it takes less than 80 seconds to complete the job.
The EDIsecure DCP 360i is ideal for medium to high volume applications for corporations, organizations, hospitals, health facilties and universities, for photo ID's, access control, time and attendance and loyalty cards.
