PR-C201

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012


Available August 2012!

Nisca’s new PR-C201 ID card printer features retransfer printing technology that allows you to create ID badges in full color with full bleed images in brilliant true color. The retransfer process uses dye sublimation to print a high-resolution image in reverse directly onto the film base. The ID card printer then thermally transfers the image and film onto the ID card surface through heat and pressure, thermally bonding it to the card surface for a more secure ID card.

The new PR-C201 offers industry-leading 24-bit continuous tone single and dual-sided printing, quick change ribbon cassette, USB and Ethernet 10 Base-T, 100 Base-T, 2-year return to depot service printer warranty*, limited lifetime print head warranty*, 600 dpi, 24-bit color and high speed ID card printing of over 160 cards/hour!

Retransfer ID Card Printers

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Retransfer ID card printing, also known as High-Definition printing is a superior printing technology, which prints images and text onto a retransfer film that bonds thermally to ID cards, creating superior image quality with true over-the-edge printing for better looking cards that have more area to print on.

Retransfer printing provides the ability to print on cards with embedded electronics and uneven card surfaces such as on smart cards, as well as on cards with small blemishes and a wider variety of ID cards including non-PVC, with more durable images that are tamper proof due to the built-in secure effect of printing with retransfer films.

The award-winning EasyLobby SVM (Secure Visitor Management) provides comprehensive, enterprise-class visitor registration, tracking, reporting and ID badge printing, as well as web-based pre-registration by employees, access control integration, package and asset management, and employee time and attendance.

EasyLobby Software enables your organization to:

  • Control access to your facilities
  • Streamline visitor check-in and check-out
  • Accurately capture detailed visitor information in seconds (without typing!)
  • Print high quality, professional looking visitor badges
  • Keep visitor information confidential
  • Analyze visitor data and run queries and reports against your database
  • Improve and automate lobby security
  • Enhance your image by dealing with visitors more professionally
  • Make visitors and employees feel safer

 

EasyLobby Software Versions:

SVM (Secure Visitor Management): Main Badging Application provides corporations, government agencies, educational institutions and healthcare and property management customers with the most feature-rich, yet easy-to-use visitor management capabilities.

Administrator: EasyLobby Administrator is an enterprise-class, central administration software console that is installed on a Windows workstation (typically the security manager’s computer) providing all of the critical functionality for managing your EasyLobby visitor management system.

See our complete list of recommended hardware for use with your Visitor Management ID Solution.

EasyLobby Satellite Software

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

EasyLobby SVM Satellite is used to control and monitor entry and exit at one or more internal locations or “check points” for visitors who have already been given an ID badge at an SVM workstation at the main lobby, visitor center or guard gate.

Upon arrival at a Satellite station the visitor badge is scanned (via barcode) and the Satellite station displays the visitor’s photo, name and clearance level while immediately informing the operator of the visitor’s entry status, whether to allow the visitor into that area or whether to deny entry. The clearance level is assigned to each visitor when they are badged by SVM Secure Visitor Management Software. Satellite time stamps the visitor’s entry and exit at that station via barcode scan, proximity card, or magnetic stripe read. Customers must purchase 1 copy of Satellite for each location where this type of internal control and monitoring is desired.

Satellite does not have the ability to create new visitor records, to modify existing records, or to print ID badges; it is a supplement to be used with the SVM security architecture and is not a substitute for SVM Visitor Management software.

Minimum System Requirements:
• Pentium IV processor
• Windows XP Windows 7 or Windows Vista
• 512MB of RAM
• 100MB of free disk space

Databases Supported:
• Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 Express
• Microsoft SQL Server (2000, 2005 or 2008)
• Oracle (9i or higher)
