Card Personalization Combined with Thermal Printing

This solution combines powerful card personalization with high-quality thermal printing in a single, modular system. Designed as the ideal extension to the Rinas CS-LWR universal encoder, it enables encoding of magnetic stripe, RFID or chip cards and printing in one streamlined process.

Thanks to its modular architecture – with intelligent (μC-controlled) modules working in parallel – encoding and printing can run simultaneously. While one card is being encoded in the LWR unit, the previously encoded card is already being printed. This parallel workflow significantly increases throughput compared to conventional systems. A downstream print verification station with scanner can also be integrated to ensure maximum process reliability and quality.
