Team NiSCA, Somerset, N.J., will roll out its PR5360LE, a new high speed, direct to card printer at the ISC West International Security Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas, April 6-8.
The new printer enhances the NiSCA plastic card printer product line with the addition of a professional, single-sided printer that has an optional magnetic stripe three-track encoding as well as a more advanced IC contact chip and IC contactless encoding.
The printer is compatible with the NiSCA PR5302 laminator to offer patch or edge-to-edge lamination. Mainstream plastic card printers provide an overcoat protection to the card. However, there have been tests to show that this overlay can be stripped and the text can be manipulated with the right chemicals. For this reason, corporations, governments and universities require security lamination.
NiSCA offers a number of custom and generic holograms for the PR5360LE. Secure holograms help protect against counterfeiting, and make an entire ID system and facilities more secure. The security features built into holograms are difficult to duplicate and provide ID cards with levels of security that can make the card harder to counterfeit.
Additional security features that can be added with a PR5360LE printer are UV and micro text printing. UV printing allows the automated printing of the printer’s serial and model number, date of printing, variable demographic data and one bit monochrome graphics.
