schools.
MINNETONKA,
MINN. — March 1, 2011 —
Datacard Group, the world
leader in secure ID and card
personalization solutions,
today announced the launch
of the Datacard®
SD360™ two-sided
card printer to help primary
and secondary schools
improve ID card issuance
programs.
“Schools that are looking to
get more than staff and
student ID cards from their
current printer will benefit
from the SD360 card
printer,” said Russell St.
John, senior vice president
of global marketing for
Datacard Group. “The
reliable and easy-to-use
SD360 printer will help
users produce multi-purpose
cards for their schools –
simply and without hassle.”
The SD360 card printer’s new
technology, faster print
speeds and user-friendly
interface are designed to
help schools streamline
their day-to-day operations
and create safer
environments. Exclusive
features include Datacard®
TruePick™
anti-jam card handling for
reliable operation as well
as TrueMatch™
color matching. When used
with Datacard®
Certified Supplies,
TrueMatch color matching
produces vibrant images and
logos, as well as crisp,
bleed-free bar codes and
text. Users can also upgrade
the SD360 printer with smart
card and magnetic stripe
encoding modules for more
complex operations such as
meal purchases and
attendance tracking.
The SD360 card printer can
help schools meet their
environmental commitments
through increased energy
efficiency and eco-friendly
features. The SD360 printer
earned the ENERGY STAR®
and sets new standards for
environmentally conscious
desktop printing by
utilizing biodegradable
ribbon supply cores and
recyclable packaging.
“Schools require fast card
printing, efficient
operation and high print
quality from their card
printers, and that’s exactly
what the SD360 printer
delivers,” said Kathleen
Phillips, head of desktop
personalization systems for
Datacard Group. “More and
more schools rely on ID
cards for access control and
checkout automation along
with their need for student
and visitor identification.”
“Perhaps the most beneficial
feature for schools is the
SD360 card printer’s ability
to help keep student
registration lines short and
ID operations moving
smoothly through
user-friendly, highly
productive operation,”
Phillips continued.
The SD360 card printer is
available for purchase
beginning today, March 1,
2011.
