Purchasing Considerations

After you've read through all of the features and options, checked the specs, and have seen how the DTC550 fits into a secure card identity system, you ultimately have to ask: Is this the right card printer/encoder for my security applications? As you ponder your purchase decision, here are some things to consider:

1. Security - Corporations, post-secondary educational institutions, state and local governments all present a diverse array of security needs. The DTC550 provides the adaptability and security you need to meet these challenges, whether it's physical access to offices or research labs, or logical access to critical networks or databases. With the DTC550's optional lamination module, you can enhance its Direct-to-Card printing with a holographic overlaminate and Visual Security Elements that are virtually impossible to counterfeit.


2. Functionality - The DTC550 offers two important options: Ethernet connectivity, and smart card encoding modules. Networking capability makes the DTC550 a versatile element for distributed card issuance across the enterprise. Smart cards are a smart idea in a wide range of applications. The same card that grants facilities access can also carry biometrics for network access and code for charging lunch in the cafeteria. The DTC550's optional encoding modules cover all of the major card technologies, from proximity to DESFire. Using the DTC550 to combine identity functions into one multipurpose card not only saves money, it makes your operations more secure.
