Datacard today released the SD260 desktop card printer, with several improvements over the previous generation of the device.
Press release: Datacard Group, the world leader in secure ID and card personalization solutions, today announced the launch of the Datacard SD260 card printer at the ASIS 2010 trade show.
“Datacard Group was the first to bring color card personalization to the desktop,” said Russell St. John, senior vice president of Marketing for Datacard Group. “And our SP and CP desktop solutions have been industry standards for applications ranging from simple corporate IDs to sophisticated driver licenses and national identification cards. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned and put it into this new family of card printers, which debuts with the SD260 printer.”
The SD260 ID card printer is the result of dozens of innovations that have come together to set a new industry standard for speed, simplicity, reliability and value.
A few key improvements include: printing speeds that are at least 33% faster than competitive printers – up to 200 color or up to 850 monochrome cards per hour; an easy-to-use soft-touch LCD control interface; TruePickTM card handling that virtually eliminates jams; ENERGY STAR® qualified printer; environmentally responsible card printing; browser-based print management to adjust printer settings and perform printer diagnostics; and an exciting new TrueMatchTM color management system that ensures accurate, vibrant colors and crisp, clean printing results.
“We’ve listened to hundreds of customers during the design process for the SD260 printer ,” said Kathleen Phillips, head of desktop personalization systems for Datacard. “It came through loud and clear – they wanted a card printer that was faster, more reliable, easier to use and had a great price. We believe that the SD260 printer delivers on all fronts.”
The new Datacard SD260 card printer will be on display in booth 1133, at the American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) tradeshow, October 12 – 14 in Dallas, Texas.
