NBS Launches New Card Personalization Elements for Horizon® Evolution

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) November 11, 2007

NBS Technologies, a leading supplier of card personalization equipment, is pleased to announce the launch of two new Card Personalization Elements for its Horizon® Evolution central issuance platform. These new elements nicely complement the existing menu of personalization options and represent NBS' commitment to continue expanding its central issuance offering.

New Horizon® Evolution Card Personalization Elements:

• The high speed color printer prints clear, crisp (300 dpi) photo quality color images at a throughput rate of 800 cards per hour for 1" (2.54cm) wide color photo utilizing panelized dye sublimation ribbons. Additional capabilities include: monochrome ribbon support as well as applying overlay to multiple selected areas for each run or the entire card.
• High-Speed Split CMY Color Printer prints clear, crisp (300 dpi) photo quality color images at a throughput rate of 900 cards per hour for a full card color image or 1500 cph for a 1" (2.54cm) wide color photo. This printer utilizes mono color ribbons thus greatly increasing the yield per roll while significantly reducing the cost per card.

"The launch of these two new Card Personalization Elements for the Horizon® Evolution is a direct result of NBS' focus on Customer feed back. Our Customers clearly communicated that cost of ownership and cost per card were two of the most important factors when it comes to capital equipment. The design goal for each of these new CPEs was to deliver increased speed, reliability and a reduction in consumable cost. We are excited about our new offerings to the market and are
confident that our customers will appreciate the results of our efforts." said Eliot Sobel, General Manager of NBS Technologies Card Personalization business unit.

"We're always thinking of new ways to increase our equipment speed while improving the embossing and printing quality of our products." said Kirk Hamilton, President and CEO of NBS Technologies. "We invite our Customers to visit us at Cartes 2007 in Paris (booth 3F 022) where we'll be featuring these new modules".
