Matica's new retransfer printer for oversized cards

4/14/2016

0 Comments

 
MUNICH, 7 April, 2016 -- Matica Technologies AG announces the launch of the XL8300, an innovative retransfer printer, which specializes in exceptionally high quality card applications.

Targeting the events industry, wide format cards and badges are most often used for visitors, staff or VIPs by event management and conferencing companies organizing conventions, trade shows and sports events, such as the Olympics, Formula One, golf, football, tennis and all other competitions.

Demand for wide format ID cards may also include sites of specialized security where increased card personalization is required. Matica´s XL8300 has an option to encode contactless cards. Similarly, corporate environments may need them where access control requires immediate personal identification. As an additional security feature, the XL8300 can print logo, text and images with UV ink.

“The oversized card format market is a growing sector so it was a logical step to make our entrance by maximizing Matica´s well-known and trusted technology. The market reaction to our improved products, which sit within a broad and competitive portfolio, shows that we are on track to achieve sustainable profitability,” said Sandro Camilleri, CEO, Matica Technologies AG.

The XL8300​ is available through Bridgeway Solutions. Call 828-438-1676 or 800-333-3608 for more information. sales@bridgewayid.com

Safer Students, More Secure Schools Made More Affordable with New Smart ID Card Subsidy

ScholarChip, ARMET Group and Zebra Technologies Announce K-12 Affordable IDs for Students and Staff

ARMET Group Authorized Solution Providers include Bridgeway Solutions, Higgins Corp., Legend ID, Metropolitan Data Solutions, Midwest Card and Newbart Products. Together as ARMET Group these resellers provide sales, service, integration and support for identification management software and hardware solutions. 
​

Announcing the Affordable Smart Card ID Initiative, a cutting-edge subsidy program that will enable more qualifying school districts to implement ultra-secure smart ID card systems for students and staff. Smart cards fulfill an immediate security need for districts and are a straightforward path to advanced student and campus safety solutions.  
 
“Every child in America deserves a safe school environment, and we are creating this initiative so that every student has the chance to be safe, especially those in underfunded school districts,” said Maged Atiya, PhD, ScholarChip CEO/CTO. “Our group of companies is offering this subsidy so that K12 schools can introduce or upgrade to proven Smart ID card technology easily and cost effectively.”

The subsidy is available to qualifying schools and districts when purchasing the Smart ID Card Starter Kit. ScholarChip's Smart ID Card Starter Kit includes everything needed for K-12s to implement a Smart ID Card Solution or to move from a basic plastic (and easily copied) card to a smart, chipped card with multiple functionalities available.
​
The Smart Card ID Starter Kit
  • ScholarChip’s One Card ID Manager software, 2-year license
  • Zebra’s ZXP Series 3 card printer 
  • up to 1000 free contactless Smart ID Cards
  • camera
  • printer ribbon. 

“A safe environment is key to learning, growing, and productivity. Knowing who is on campus and why helps administrators provide the safety and security students deserve and rely on to thrive. Visual identification is the first step in a comprehensive access control and identification management system,” said Mike Bridges, CEO and Chairman of the ARMET Group.
 
Subsidized pricing for the Starter Kit is based on spending per student and free and reduced lunch ratios. The subsidy is available to districts that have no ID card systems in place; those that want to improve their card printer hardware; or those that want to upgrade their existing ID system from plain plastic or swipe cards to new Smart ID Card technology. The Smart Card ID Starter Kit makes enhanced student safety and campus security more affordable than ever - especially for those schools or districts qualifying for the 2016 subsidy. Apply now.
 
The subsidy application and more information can be found at www.smartcardsforschools.com.
 
“In today’s environment, it is imperative for educational institutions to have visibility that will increase the safety and security of students and staff,” said Ram Ramaprasad, director of product management for Card Printing Solutions at Zebra Technologies. “With this smart card-based solution and initiative, we are helping to make it easier and less expensive for schools to protect their students and personnel and allow only authorized people into their facilities.”
 
Smart ID Card systems are an important step to ensuring school security. The National Crime Prevention Council states, “An identification card system…deters individuals with no legitimate business in the school from attempting to enter the building and reduces opportunities for on-campus crimes, violence, and drug dealing by unauthorized outsiders.”
 
SCHOLARCHIP ONE CARD ID MANAGER
ScholarChip’s One Card ID Manager software manages the process that keeps schools secure while keeping students safe. Starting with a photograph of an individual in a school Student Information System (SIS), the system encodes a globally unique ID to that person and prints a Smart ID Card. ScholarChip uses the tightest international security standards (PCI, FISMA, SSAE16), which are the same that banks, credit card companies, and other financial companies use. Individual information is secure; these cards are almost impossible to replicate.
 
The ScholarChip One Card can integrate with modern and legacy school systems and easily connects to a host of services like automated attendance; cafeteria purchases; free and reduced lunch program tracking; library checkouts; bus monitoring; staff time clocks; and other reportable activities throughout the campus. Also, in the case of emergency or lockdown situations, ScholarChip’s One Card ID system provides administrators and police with actionable safety information and greater control over the entire campus.
