Details

The Matica MC310 stands out for its unparalleled versatility, offering upgrades from single-sided to dual-sided printing and a range of secure card encoding options. It features an extensive chromXpert™ consumable program, including a secure Sc (pearlescent) ribbon option. The MC310 seamlessly integrates with both lamination and laser options, making it ideal for secure ID projects and high-volume issuance. With its robust build quality, supported by an industry-leading four-year warranty, the MC310 is designed for reliability and high performance. It produces full-color prints at 180 cards per hour, with options for rewritable and monochrome printing. The printer’s comprehensive capabilities—including secure ribbons, high-quality TruEdge 300 dpi printing, and a 200-card capacity—make it perfect for secure ID projects and mid to high-volume card issuance.

Direct to Card Printing Technology

This ID card printer uses advanced “direct-to-card” technology, where ink is directly diffused onto a blank PVC or composite card through a ribbon. The print head heats up and contacts the ribbon and card in a seamless, one-step process. Direct-to-card printers are highly efficient, making them ideal for high-volume printing environments. The method ensures reliable, consistent results, producing “edge-to-edge” prints that nearly cover the entire card, with only a narrow unprinted border. This technology offers a balance of speed, quality, and cost-effectiveness, making it a smart choice for organizations with regular security or visitor management needs.

300 dpi

This ID card printer achieves a resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch), equivalent to 11.8 dpm (dots per millimeter). DPI refers to the number of individual dots of ink the printer can place within a linear inch of the card’s surface. A higher DPI means more dots, resulting in finer detail and sharper images. At 300 dpi, this printer ensures that photos, logos, barcodes, and text are rendered with precision, producing professional-grade cards with clear, vibrant visuals. This level of detail is crucial for ID cards, where every element—from facial features to small text—needs to be easily readable and visually appealing.

Single-Sided ID Card Printing

This ID card printer is optimized for single-sided printing, focusing on efficiency and precision for projects where content is only needed on one side of the card. Its streamlined design makes it a cost-effective and straightforward solution for organizations that don’t require dual-sided printing capabilities. By dedicating its technology to one side at a time, the printer ensures consistent, high-quality output with each card, making it perfect for applications like employee IDs, membership cards, or visitor badges. Should your needs evolve to require dual-sided printing, additional passes, upgraded modules, or new equipment would be required to achieve that functionality.

Magnetic Stripe Encoding

ISO Magnetic stripe encoding allows data to be encoded onto magnetic stripes embedded within plastic or composite cards. An ISO magnetic stripe encoder supports both high coercivity (HiCo) and low coercivity (LoCo) magnetic stripes, giving you flexibility depending on your specific application needs. By configuring your printer and encoder, you can store data across three distinct magnetic stripe tracks, each capable of holding different types of information. These tracks can be programmed for use in a wide range of systems, including door access control, payment processing, loyalty programs, and more. Magnetic stripe technology remains a reliable and widely used method for securely storing and transmitting data, making it a valuable feature for businesses looking to integrate with various third-party systems.

Smart Card

Smart card encoding in ID card printers is the process of writing data onto the embedded chip within a smart card during the card printing process. This allows the card to store and transmit secure information, such as access credentials, personal identification, or payment details. Integrated directly into the ID card printer, the smart card encoder programs the card with the necessary data while the card is being printed, ensuring seamless production of fully personalized and secure credentials. This technology is widely used in environments requiring enhanced security, such as corporate offices, government facilities, and educational institutions.
