The Matica MC310 direct-to-card printer offers a superior print quality and a complete line of\u00a0encoding<\/a>,\u00a0lamination<\/a>\u00a0and communication options. Its versatility provides a solution to all vertical markets which need to run card issuance programs that require reliable and consistent high quality printing, converting the MC310 into the most flexible and reliable card printer platform in the market.<\/p>\n

Reliable and easy-to-use, the Matica MC310 offers high-performance color card printing. Available as a single side, the MC310 can easily evolve to dual-side printing, anytime, anywhere without the need to install additional hardware components.<\/p>\n

The technology and advantages of direct-to-card printers<\/h3>\n

Direct-to-card printing process transfers images directly onto the card being personalized by heating a built-in ink ribbon and pressing it straight onto the smooth card\u2019s surface (i.e. cards made from regular PVC or composite with PVC Top Layer and ABS cards to be used with monochrome ribbons). A YMCKO color ribbon is used to make photographic quality\u00a0ID cards<\/a>. The printer uses the YMC panels to print the color images or characters, while the K panel is used to print deep black characters or images such as barcodes that have to remain machine-readable despite regular use. The O panel is an overlay that serves as a coating for your card. Single-color\/ monochrome ribbons help create crisp monochrome images and are used mainly to personalize pre-printed cards.<\/p>\n

This simple single-step dye sublimation process stands in contrast to reverse transfer printing technology, where ink is applied to a clear film first and then to the card itself. While both methods have their advantages, direct-to-card printers can generally warrant a higher output per hour and lower production costs. With the MC310, this translates to up to 180 cph (cards per hour) when printing color single side and up to 850 cards per hour when printing in monochrome.<\/p>\n

Depending on the needs of your organization, the MC310 can easily evolve to a dual-sided printing, anytime, anywhere without the need to install additional hardware components.<\/p>\n

Stay flexible with seamless integration and effortless updates<\/h3>\n

This space-saving, sleek design model offers 4 LED status indicators on the front of the printer, in combination with the 2-line LCD display, facilitates the use of the printer providing all necessary information to the operator, making the MC310 extremely easy to use. In addition, the LED light to indicate the process status at a glance help reduce the need for manual monitoring and free up your staff to interact with customers or pursue other duties.<\/p>\n

As your office and business demands expand, so does the functionality of your device: optional in-line upgrades such as magnetic stripe encoder and dual interface encoders for contact\/contactless smart cards can be added to your existing configuration to maximize its functionality for a broader set of application uses, such as access control, time & attendance, payment services and many more, without necessarily investing in a new machine.<\/p>\n

Matica\u2019s proprietary Windows-based print management software, as well as optional Ethernet connectivity are offered to make printing and encoding simple, convenient and trouble-free.<\/p>\n

More durable and secure cards<\/h3>\n

The MC310 is accompanied with a comprehensive chromXpert ribbon program to cover all issuance needs in all vertical markets, including the new Matica YMCScKO ribbon to increase the number of visual security elements (VSE) on the card for security applications. The YMCScKO ribbon adds tamper resistants by using an additional variable-reflecting \u201cSc\u201d ink panel. This allows the ability to add information in the form of a watermark.<\/p>\n

The use of the optional, easy-to-install, in-line\u00a0MC-L2 lamination module<\/a>\u00a0in combination with the MC310 allows you to issue cards which last and have an additional level of security against counterfeit such as holographic images.<\/p>\n

Easy to integrate<\/h3>\n

MC310 follows Matica\u2019s standard architecture MDM (Matica Desktop Module) and can be combined with different modules (laminators,\u00a0laser engravers<\/a>) to offer a scalable solution, which grows with customers\u2019 needs while securing their investment.<\/p>\n

With their robust and durable construction, speedy and reliable output and clean design, Matica\u2019s direct-to-card printers are the perfect solutions for a variety of businesses and organizations ranging from retail to entertainment, from corporate to education. So whether you are looking for a way to create student or patient IDs, gift cards or event passes \u2013 simply place your device behind the counter, on the desk or inside a cabinet for a fast and simple production.<\/p>\n

Rapid Smart Card and eID Card Personalization\u2014The Card Encoding Engine\u2122<\/h3>\n

Matica MC310 benefits from the most innovative solution for smart card personalization and electronic chip encoding today\u2014The\u00a0Card Encoding Engine\u2122<\/a>. The Card Encoding Engine is the only printer software solution available that permits instant chip encoding for\u00a0contact and contactless smart cards<\/a>\u00a0without requiring any custom programming, or any programming at all. The MC310 is also supported by the\u00a0idblox\u2122 Smart Card Ecosystem<\/a>, which enables the fastest, easiest and most affordable development of microprocessor-based smart cards today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
