Feedback on IFSEC 2011

We were so excited to showcase our product line at IFSEC Securex Johannesburg 2011 this week. The show is now complete, and as we debrief as a team, we like to reflect on the feedback we received from the visitors.

The XID8300

Time and time again, we printed a sample card on this printer and the visitor exclaimed "Wow!". The feedback we received was a reiteration of what we have believed since it's release- the XID8300 is the best desktop card printer available. Full stop.

We can't stop talking about some of the fantastic benefits wrapped in that little grey box:

• The clarity of print is unmatched by any other printer represented at the show.
  
  
• The UV ink we showcased was broadcasted by top VIP visitors as a "smart" security feature.
  
  
• Anyone who has ever sunk thousands of rands into printhead replacements knows that the Lifetime Print head Warranty is pure gold.
  
  
• The encoding modules available for the XID8300 will encode iClass HID cards, Mifare cards and other contact and contactless chips. This is an important feature for the visitors of IFSEC Securex, as many are in the process of migrating into a more self-sufficient in house system for their security.
  
  

• When we got to that complicated question of pricing, each visitor was surprised at how reasonable the machine was. The price of EDIsecure Retransfer printers have come down significantly over the years- making this machine more value for money than any other plastic card printer available.
  
  

The LCP9000

The LCP9000 is a desktop colour laser personalisation unit, small enough to fit on a small desk, with the ability to engrave images into the plastic. A fully kitted card can have tactile and flat engraving of text or images, UV, ghost imaging and a mirage of security features. The market for this printer is significantly smaller than that of the XID8300, thanks to it's more secure requirements and higher price tag.

We had videos running of the laser operating, as well as an actual demonstration of the full LCP9000 unit. The videos attracted congregations of people watching how the laser reflects, and engraves onto polycarbonate plastic. Lasers are awesome and this highly secure method of card issuance is awesome too.


Overall we are ecstatic about the results of the show and are looking forward to the next show we'll be popping into!
