DOD Card Personalization System

High-speed drop-on-demand personalization for payment, loyalty and ID cards.

The IDM6820 is a drop-on-demand card personalization line for card bureaus and issuers. Cards are encoded, printed and verified in a single pass at up to 6000 an hour, and because each module is controlled separately the same line handles payment cards, loyalty cards and ID cards.

Capabilities

Built for card bureau throughput

Drop-on-Demand UV Inkjet

Single-pass printing with plasma surface treatment and UV-LED curing, covering the card edge to edge.

High-Speed Chip Encoding

A vertical-lift design with eight contact stations, expandable to sixteen, alongside eight contactless stations.

Magnetic Stripe Encoding

All three ISO 7811 tracks in HiCo and LoCo, including transparent and embossed cards.

OCR on Every Print Module

Each printing module carries its own OCR, with two QC modules checking barcodes and digits before collection.

Wide Material Compatibility

PC, PVC, ABS, PET, PETG and composite cards from 0.6 to 1.0 mm, including SIM carriers.

Module-by-Module Control

Every module can be switched on or off in software, so one line runs several card products.

Scheme of work

One pass, eight stations

Cards run the length of the line once: encoded, printed on both sides, checked after each print, and separated if anything fails.
