Photo ID printer for Cashpoint
Cashpoint prepares for new laws with contactless RFID loyalty picture card
VARIUSCARD as Evolis Partner in Austria has a business relationship with cashpoint entertainment since 1996, delivering different kinds of loyalty and prepaid cards. Variuscard is specialized in full service solution and production of plastic cards like loyalty cards, gift and prepaid cards and RFID smart cards.
New laws for the gaming industry in Austria require every customer in a bet station or casino to have a personalized photo ID. Cashpoint has installed over 100 of the Evolis Avansia photo id printer in their offices and will continue to use them in the future. These desktop systems allow cashpoint staff to personlize and issue Id photo picture cards with contactless technology chips on the spot.
Cashpoint chooses Variuscard
Cashpoint has tested several devices in a tender for their new loyalty card. The Evolis Avansia photo id printer Model was chosen for it’s supreme reliability, it’s print speed and it’s amazingly high definition print quality of 600 dpi. The printer stands out for it’s reliability, precision and easy handlig.
The newly developed ID customer card must meet all legal requirements as well as all specially defined internal requirements. All cards are therefore electronically pre-personalized and encoded for security reasons at the VARIUSCARD facility, especially the contactless chip is provided with its own keys and coded before delivery.
Encoding of smartcards
The pre-printed cards are also optically pre-personalized and specially packaged. When the cards are issued, they are encrypted with individual keys and personalized with the personal data of the customer as well as a color photo. This output process, which is also called “instant issuing”, is not only customer-friendly, but also saves costs and time by the no longer necessary postal delivery.
Michael Dorner, Managing Director of Variuscard, has been observing a trend towards the printing of plastic cards directly at the point of sale, especially in the entertainment market: “Our customers are more independent and reactive through these printing systems.”
