aordable for a wide range of financial cards,
helping you deliver an outstanding customer
experience with speed, convenience and security.

are no worries about cards being lost or stolen
in the mail. Instant issuance with the desktop­based DTCii means that your customers can start
using their cards immediately — a plus for your

Creating high-quality, visually rich, and durable
financial cards on demand has never been easier
or more aordable. The DTCii prints financial
cards on both sides and writes card data with its
standard magnetic, contact and contactless smart
card encoders — producing the new generation of
financial cards with no embossed text on the front
and increasingly, a contact or contactless smart
chip inside.
