Maxsys™Card Issuance System
Intelligent Supply Technology
Datacard has integrated a host of intelligent features into the supply products for the Datacard®Maxsys
card issuance system. Built-in intelligence for print ribbons, cleaning tapes and topping foils allows the Maxsys™System to identify and match supplies to the current job, conserve supply usage, and notify operators when supply items are nearing time for replenishment— all of which saves time and money while improving card integrity.
The key to this intelligence is the technology added to the new blue core, which maintains individual supply item data. The Maxsys System uses this information to optimize each supply item’s performance. Because the data is maintained with the supply core— not in the Maxsys System— partially used supplies can be exchanged between Maxsys Systems and without losing its most recent data.
The Datacard®Maxsys™card issuance system features Datacard
®
proprietary patent pending intelligent supply technology designed specifically for the Maxsys System.When the system recognizes that a Datacard®supply is installed, all intelligent supply features will be enabled. Datacard is your exclusive source for proprietary supplies for the Maxsys System.
System-Matched Supplies
Our new line of Maxsys supplies is engineered specifically for the Maxsys System and reflects Datacard’s continued investment and development in new supply
technologies. The result is an unequalled supplies portfolio in terms of breadth, depth and compatibility. No other brand or manufacturer can deliver the value and ultimate performance you have come to expect from Datacard
®
Certified Supplies. Datacard Certified Supplies have
always delivered superior cards and low total cost of ownership. But now, Datacard®brand ribbons, foils and cleaning tapes include patent pending technology essentialfor achieving maximum perform-ance from your Maxsys System.
Graphics Module Supplies
Datacard offers high-quality, cost­effective monochrome thermal ribbons in a wide variety of colors. They provide the ultimate in scratch and smudge resistance, superior opaque images, crisp text and bar codes. Datacard also offers UV fluorescing and scratch-off ribbon solutions for your security needs.
The new 300 dpi replacement printhead assembly installs quickly, without any tools. Simply remove two pins, replace the assembly and re-insert the pins. Also, printheads are equipped with a resident read/write memory EPROM containing printhead performance data including card counts to assist with warranty and service needs.
Cleaning Module Supplies
One of the most effective and inexpensive ways to help maintain equipment and produce quality cards is to utilize a continuous cleaning system. The Maxsys System utilizes a single cleaning module fitted with a cleaning tape and cleaning roller combination to continuously clean cards before they enter a printing module.
To ensure you are using Datacard®Certified Supplies, look for ribbons that feature our distinctive and exclusive bluecores. Soon, all Datacard ribbons will be sold with these cores.

This helps reduce the need for maintenance cleanings and helps ensure uninterrupted card production.
Topping Module Supplies
Datacard’s high gloss and metallic topping foils have been specially formulated for superior abrasion resistance and exceptional durability. We design our foils for easy release and clean, crisp transfer to the embossed cards. This advanced performance is critical when running at high speeds. Foils are available in a variety of colors, with custom color matching services available upon request.
Emboss/Indent Module Supplies
Datacard®indent ribbon is a matte stamping ribbon formulated for stamping directly onto vinyl/polystyrene cards and signature panels. Indent ribbons transfer by impact—no heat is necessary. They have been designed for excellent abrasion resistance, with easy release capabilities for clean, crisp transfer to the card. Datacard®indent ribbons are available in black and white, with custom color matching services available upon request.
