AMAG Technology, a security solution provider specialising in access control, video management, policy-based identity solutions and visitor management, has announced that Matica Technologies is a new member of the Symmetry Preferred Partner Program.

Matica’s EDIsecure XID8300 Retransfer ID Card Printer integrates with AMAG’s latest Symmetry™ Access Control software to provide Symmetry users with an affordable, high quality printer to print access cards. AMAG Technology and Matica Technologies cooperatively tested and approved this integration.

Solution for challenging card projects

“We are proud about this new partnership with AMAG Technology,” said Ricard Ferrer, Head of Global Marketing for Matica Technologies Group. “Built from our industry proven and extremely reliable XID retransfer engine, the XID8300 offers a solution to the most challenging card projects. The certification and integration with Symmetry, the leading access control and video management platform, is a recognition which expands opportunities for both parties.”

“The integration between Symmetry and Matica card printers provides a high quality, versatile solution for security teams to print their own cards onsite,” said AMAG Technology Vice President of Products and Partner Program, Dave Ella. “It prints at 300 and 600dpi which allows Symmetry customers to print complex fine lines and patterns for increased visual security and improved corporate identity.”

The printer can be equipped with a number of encoding options such as magnetic encoding, contact and contactless chip encoding

Reliability, performance and affordability

With its compact size, the printer delivers the right combination of reliability, performance and affordability for printing durable and secure cards. The Matica XID8300 prints on a variety of card materials including long-lasting, durable non-PVC cards such as ABS, PET, and Polycarbonate. The printer can be equipped with a number of encoding options such as magnetic encoding, contact and contactless chip encoding to provide Symmetry Access Control users with several choices.

Its 300dpi resolution printing achieves offset printing quality, even on uneven surface of smart cards. Diverse security features such as dye-sublimation UV ink ribbon for invisible security printing, IPSEC for encrypted data transfer through networks, and security erase of black data on used supplies, help to secure the environment and cards from counterfeiting and to avoid misuse of personal information.
