EDIsecure DCP 360i Direct Card Printer Description
EDIsecure DCP 360i High Performance 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.
The process of direct card printing involves dye sublimation that uses a dye-based ribbon partitioned into a consecutive number of panels. The panels are grouped into a repeating series of colors - yellow, magenta, cyan, and a carbon (or resin) black (YMCK) - 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 adjusting 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! Everyday handling of the printer is easy with a front-loadable color ribbon cartridge system. A powerful printer driver with a graphical user interface assists you in routing and controlling 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 and output hopper hold 100 standard CR80 cards with a 30 mil thickness. 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 striping (HiCo and LoCo). The professional encoding module holds the card tight while the magnetic head moves along the magnetic stripe. This provides for high 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.).
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 a double-sided card in full color, with lamination on both sides, it takes less than 80 seconds to complete the job.
The EDIsecure DCP 360i can grow with your demands and raises you to a higher quality of ID card printing for access control, time and attendance, and more!
