The Veterans Administration adheres to the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) PIV ID badge processing regulations, implemented by President George W. Bush Aug. 27, 2004, requiring the development of a secure interagency personal identity verification process for federal employees and contractors.

PIV ID cards are compliant with FIPS 201 standards and have certain required elements that must appear on the front and back of cards, such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) digital certificates and biometric smart card features.

PIV ID cards are used at all VA facilities, and in addressing the high volume of ID card printing required by the enormous quantity of VA members, the Veterans Administration relies on HID Global Fargo’s trusted HDP5000 ID card printers for the printing of their secure HSPD-12 PIV VA member ID Badges.

Advantidge’s years of industry experience ensure successful support of the VA’s existing HDP5000 ID card printers and as needs arise, the implementation of new ID card systems that continue to meet federal security guidelines.

Since September 11, 2001 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has required that every airport in the country upgrade the security of the ID badges used by airport employees and all others who work on airport premises. LAX has additionally implemented the Transportation Worker Identity Credential (TWIC) Program, which establishes regulations for a system-wide common credential card for all personnel requiring unescorted physical and/or logical access to secure areas of a transportation system.

The national TWIC program requires the issuance of a tamper-resistant Smart Card containing the biometric fingerprint information of authorized employees, in order to ensure that authorized smart cards belong to the people carrying them. Taking into account their need for fast, high-volume ID card printing incorporating top of the line security features that meet TWIC standards, Advantidge guided the LAX security team to the Zebra ZXP Series 8 ID Card Printer, which they are now using with dual technology iClass magstripe cards instead of regular proximity cards for added security.

The Zebra ZXP Series 8 Retransfer ID card printer is known for creating vividly colored plastic ID cards with print speeds that far exceed any other retransfer ID card printer on the market, and with the ZXP8 image-processing technology image errors often caused by high print speeds are compensated for.

ZXP Series 8 print speeds remain unmatched by any other ID card printer in the industry, and are more than 2X as fast as the Fargo ID card printers previously used in LAX ID badging operations. These fast print speeds along with the features of reduced card movement creating fewer ID card jam issues, improved network controls in Windows Server environments and local support available from authorized factory technicians, are why LAX confidently chose to add the ZXP 8 ID card printer to their security team as the new ID card system for their TWIC ID card printing.

Now is the time to order Proximity Cards!

Proximity ID cards, also known as prox cards, transfer data securely from a distance, meaning they do not have to be swiped through a magnetic stripe card reader. This makes prox cards the convenient solution for secure door access control or time and attendance applications. Corporate, educational, and health organizations as well as governmental agencies rely on proximity card technology for the personalization of their secure badges and cards.

Advantidge is pleased to offer all proprietary formats of proximity cards, including HID and Indala, at highly competitive prices and with short lead times. The process is simple and is just another way that your team at Advantidge is working hard to provide complete solutions for secure badge issuance and ID card printer related needs. If you are interested in saving money and time, send a sample of your prox card to:

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! Comes available with an optional encoder, mag encoder, contact encoder and/or contactless encoder.
