POWERFUL ENHANCED DESIGN
The PB6500 passport issuance system combines true field modularity with exceptional reliability to keep operating costs low and production yields high. A variety of innovative features — including an enhanced laser engraving module — empower issuers to elevate the security of their passport booklets.
Elements of security
Everyday government agencies are challenged to fight against fraud, including counterfeits and alterations. The PB6500 system helps government agencies protect against these threats. Our Security at Time Of PersonalizationTM methodology provides a proven process of personalizing books with variable data using unique technologies during the production process that help reduce counterfeit passports. For example, LinkJet security printing gives you the ability to print over the spine of booklet pages and PersoCurve security feature allows variable text in a difficult to replicate wavy line. Laser engraving technology can also be used to add laser-ablated images and 3D photos during the issuance process. These Level 1 security features are easy to detect, yet difficult to counterfeit. Features such as these make it easier for field officers to identify falsified documents.
Lowering your total cost of ownership
Total cost of ownership includes factors such as capital costs, labor, pure system speed, consumables and waste. The PB6500 system incorporates hundreds of features that have been specifically designed to help minimize these costs. For example, a highly reliable leafing module helps reduce booklet loading errors, print jams and other production issues that often result in wasted booklets. Datacard® patented Intelligent Supplies Technology™ optimizes usage of consumables and provides operator prompts to increase overall yields and reduce downtime. Together, these features contribute to a lower total cost of ownership.
A MODEL OF EFFICIENCY
The PB6500 system features advanced technologies that maximize efficiency and drive down total cost of ownership.
- Reliable booklet leafing. Opens booklets to the correct page every time to minimize expensive waste.
- Fiber laser technology. Laser engraving components offer long-life performance, high reliability and a combination of energy and space savings.
- Color inkjet printing. A robust print engine delivers crisp, clear text and images.
- Simulator software. This application reduces risk and implementation costs by enabling integration and setup in a simulated production environment prior to deployment.
- High-capacity supplies. Higher yield supplies with patented Intelligent Supplies TechnologyTM measurably reduce job interruptions, optimize system up-time and provide supply conservation.
