Reduce card inventory costs
Artista®VHD retransfer color printing lets you create high-quality, litho-like

and maintain an inventory of blank white cards or a select few types of
preprinted cards.
Minimize cost-per-card with smart supplies
Datacard®Certified Supplies featuring Intelligent Supplies Technology™
allow supply items to communicate with the MX6000 system. Radio
frequency (RF) communications enhance supply performance, improve
usability with operator prompts, increase supply conservation and help
ensure the correct supply item is loaded for each job, which reduces
operator intervention.
Advanced security for cardholder data
A Windows operating system offers a variety of security features to protect
cardholder data. System-level security features allow you to authenticate
operators and control access to data, applications and specific jobs. As a result,
individual operators do not see sensitive data unless you provide authorization.
