Personalisation and printing firm Evolis has extended its range of self-service card printers with the launch of four new models.These customisation systems are designed for integration into a terminal, either as kiosks or as automated devices. According to Evolis, the new models are particularly compact and robust and offer greater flexibility and autonomy for instant card printing.The company says: "Instant card printing from free-standing terminals allows companies, banks, shops and even universities to improve the quality of service offered to their customers or students with immediate card printing and reduced waiting times. These printers are particularly suitable for issuing payment cards, membership cards, student cards, loyalty cards, ID badges or even gift cards."The new Evolis range aims to meet all requirements for the self-service personalisation of single plastic cards with solutions customised to meet client specifications. Evolis card printing modules have a range of encoding options – magnetic stripe, smart card and contactless smartcard.The range includes four printers – KC200, KC200B, KM500B, and KM2000B – divided into two different print modules. The choice of module is determined by the way it will be used. Evolis says the criteria to be taken into account are the:space available at the kiosk terminal to determine the size of printer to be used,quantity of cards to be printed and the number of different designs of pre-printed cards,maintenance cycle in order to select sufficient capacity for feeders and consumables.All four models are designed to adapt to all kinds of kiosks. They offer double-sided and edge-to-edge printing, and the ability to reject faulty cards and to recycle cards not collected by users.All of these modules include Evolis Premium Suite to facilitate the management of printer parameters, as well as the new Evolis Premium SDK (Software Development Kit) to optimise the integration of the printer into IT systems.The KC200 and KC200B are designed for easy integration into free-standing terminals. Each one has a 200-card feeder. Manual insertion is also available for the KC200B module, which is fitted with a bezel. The KM500B and KM2000B printers have high feeder capacity, with 500 and 2,000 cards respectively. "The group's project expertise is reflected in the support it offers at all stages of the project from a dedicated team, with precise needs analysis as well its ability to rapidly design customised solutions. Technical training and support are also provided by the Evolis teams," says Agnès Puel, product manager in charge of the Evolis range. "With four new personalisation systems, we are launching the most complete range for self-service instant printing and card customisation."
