The 100-card-feeder-modules are easy to access to load the new card stock. "As we move closer to the 2015 EMV liability shift, many instant issuance banks and credit unions and the card service bureaus that do mass financial card issuance are faced with the need to issue chip cards for the first time ever. Most older printers and embossers are not capable of chip card personalization, or they don't meet the current industry security standards. At Cartes America, Matica will show how issuers can move into EMV in a cost-effective way" says Sandro Camilleri, CEO of Matica Technologies AG. Matica's booth solutions will highlight card issuance from low-cost desktop ID card printing to high volume financial card issuance. The company will be providing demonstrations that address chip card issuance not only for EMV but contactless RFID cards for ID and transit applications. A short list of what will be demonstrated follows: * Full financial card issuance (encoding, thermal printing, embossing, tipping, activation label application) * Embossing and tipping promotional cards * High speed monochrome printing for loyalty, insurance and gift cards * High speed laser engraving for serialized card marking * EMV chip personalization * RFID contactless card encoding * ID card printing * High security laser engraved ID cards * Instant issuance flat card printing and embossing * Mass issuance personalization modular machinery Located in booth 1605, Matica will demonstrate a wide variety of instant issuance machines as well as high volume machines for centralized card issuance programs.
