PB6500

Exceptional document security and low total cost of ownership

The Datacard® PB6500™ passport issuance system offers a no-compromise combination of advanced technology and a low total cost of ownership. Innovative laser engraving and color inkjet printing capabilities empower government agencies to elevate passport quality and provide strong lines of defense against sophisticated and ever-changing security threats. Consistent and efficient production, reduced booklet waste and true field modularity all contribute to consistently low operating costs and long-term investment protection.

Document and data security: The PB6500 system delivers a full complement of personalization capabilities, including Datacard® LinkJet™ security printing, Datacard® PersoCurve™ security feature, laser ablation, CLI, MLI and 3D photo. Because these elements are incredibly difficult to replicate, they can measurably improve document security. A variety of substrates can be used with laser engraving, including popular thin polycarbonate pages. Logical security features also provide strong protection for demographics, biometrics and other proprietary data — both in the personalization process and on the chip.

Configurable design: A truly field-modular design allows the system to be configured to accommodate specific program requirements and work spaces, while protecting overall capital investment. Configuration flexibility and fiber laser technology, which requires no external power or special cooling, also minimize space requirements. New modules can be added to the system to allow for increased capacity or to incorporate new production technologies as they become available.

e-Passport issuance: The system issues a variety of passport types, including e-passports. The chip encoding module is compatible with chips from a wide range of manufacturers and can implement ICAO-compliant Basic Access Controls (BAC), Extended Access Controls (EAC) and Supplementary Access Controls (SAC) security protocols.

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.
