Detailed Product Description

Colamark Cardsmark Card Personalization Machinery

The Cardsmark Card Personalization Machinery is specifically designed for card manufacturers to personalize cards by inkjet printing.  It is particularly applicable for prepaid phone cards, gift cards, gift voucher cards, game cards, internet cards etc.  

To ensure data integrity and security, the system offers various options to verify the printed data by OCR methods, cover the PIN with a scratch panel, and also inspect the coverage integrity of the scratch panel. 

The system is highly modularized.  It can be configured according to different application requirements.  Different functional modules can be taken out or added into the system to expand or modify its capabilities, or to switch resources around different lines.  New modules for specific needs may also be custom designed according to the customers requirements.   The modularity feature of Cardsmark provides the highest flexibility to the customer to reconfigure or to upgrade their system as their application needs or the technology change.

The Cardsmark system is featured with the Cardsmark Control Program for data and process control. The program sends the data to the ink jet printers for printing, verifies the cards with inspection results from the cameras, keeps track of the rejected cards and the reprinting process.  The program also communicates with the PLC of the system for the hardware control.

The typical process of Cardsmark includes the following.  Some of the process are optional and may not exist in this system.

Card supply, card separation and feeding, double card detection and rejection, base label application, inkjet printing, card rotation for right-angled printing, OCR inspection and rejection, labeling (or hot stamping) a scratch panel, scratch panel inspection and rejection, overprinting, and collection.
