Government retransfer printing at 600dpi resolution

The Matica MC660 has a 600dpi resolution printhead that can reproduce any detailed image, with excellent clarity and image definition. Thanks to its retransfer printing technology, it can print on most types of card materials including PVC, PET, Polycarbonate (PC) and ABS.

The MC660 is used in a number of high security, high volume ID issuance projects around the World and has been adapted by Matica for maximum quality and reliability. It is often specified because of the secure printing options offered by its high definition print engine – these include microtext which, combined with the use of UV or security (YMCKSc) ribbons or retransfer film with embedded holographic elements, increases the number of visual security elements (VSE) on the card. The MC660 is also equipped with a full range of encoding options which offer full flexibility when issuing smart cards (contact chip, magnetic stripe or contactless).

Additional modules for increased security and durability

In addition to its high definition and high security printing, the MC660 can be combined with additional desktop modules for extra security or added card durability. By combining the MC660 with the the MC-L laminator, card life can be extended to up to ten years, making it an ideal solution for government ID projects. In combination with Matica’s MC-LX laser as the LCP9660, the MC660 is capable of printing a color image on to a laserable polycarbonate card before additional variable data or security features are applied inline by the laser.
