ID card printer

The new EDIsecure XID 8300 Retransfer Printer was developed for industrial needs with small footprint, less weight and modern design. This extremely modular and robust printer is provided with various optional modules such as bend remedy for production of flat ISO compliant cards, flipper for double-side printing, and diverse encoding modules. Therefore it offers an unparalleled versatility and is available at an extremely attractive price. Hence, a much broader range of clients can enjoy the benefits of an industrially designed and manufactured retransfer printer resulting in the perfect personalization solution, especially for technology cards with contact and contactless interfaces.

While the printer is a truly new development, the majority of the internal parts is build using the extremely rugged and reliable heavy-duty construction which had made the XID 5xxie series become the most reliable retransfer printers in the markets since many years. Even the whole ribbon program, consisting of five distinct versions plus the long lasting XID ART retransfer film, is fully compatible with the XID 5xxie series, so that customers and distribution partners can leverage from the existing media
portfolio without any changes.

With its compact size, the printer delivers the right combination of reliability, performance, and affordability for printing durable and secure cards. It almost achieves offset printing quality, even on the uneven surface of smart cards. This new model is equipped with a lockable, spacious card hopper for up to 200 cards and highest ribbon capacity with up to 1000 prints for easy handling and continuous operation. Even the ribbon compartment can be locked against unauthorizedaccess, since the printer can utilize very security sensitive materials, such as the unique dyesublimation UV print ribbon for invisible security printing in photographic quality.

The XID 8300 is ready to meet the individual requirements of customers and can be equipped according to the customer needs. A unique accessories compartment allows the convenient storage of supporting items, such as cleaning kits and others. It is again the only retransfer printer in the market which can truly – and reliably – print even on long lasting cards such as ABS, Polyester (PET) and even Polycarbonate (PC). For increasing demands on card functionality, optional magnetic stripe, IC contact and contactless smart card encoding is possible. Besides the already mentioned security locks the printer is provided with other security features such as Kensington lock, a user-activated password and IPSEC for encrypted data transfer through Ethernet networks. Security Erase of printed black data on used supplies helps to secure the integrity of personalized information and protects against misuse.

To extend the lifetime, durability, and security of the cards, the EDIsecure XID 8300 Retransfer printer can be joined with optional modules for single-sided or dual-sided inline lamination in one pass.

The very flexible and compact EDIsecure Inline Lamination Module ILM-LS offers an enormous flexibility to accommodate total cost, throughput requirements, and reliability. Due to the unconventional portrait mode lamination a very high lamination speed of 16 seconds per card can be achieved. The laminator has a Kensington lock as well as an electronic security lock for the front door to secure access to the supplies. The laminator is also available as an ILM-DS forsimultaneous double-side lamination, which eliminates the need for an external flipper and so speeds up the lamination process. Even different laminates can be applied to the same card at the same time due to two cartridges and two separate heat roller systems. A wide variety of laminating media is available: clear and holographic patches in various thicknesses, patches with chip cut-out for contact chip cards as well as holographic overlays. Again, the full portfolio of existing laminate products, as it had been used since many years in the proven ILU Lamination Unit, is fully compatible to the new program.
