With an installed base exceeding 100 systems, CARDLINE VERSA has proven to be the first choice for card manufacturers and personalization bureaus. CARDLINE VERSA is a versatile and efficient personalization solution with a running speed of up to 30,000 cards per hour. It offers complete personalization, configuration flexibility, and the advantage of UV ink-based DoD printing using the field-proven Atlantic Zeiser DoD printer technology and LED-based UV curing. Magnetic stripe encoding can easily be configured for top down or bottom-up encoding, and the encoding head can be freely positioned across the card or product.

Due to a booming demand for open loop prepaid cards and based on an Atlantic Zeiser initiative, in 2009 all major financial schemes have approved DoD inkjet printing for the personalization of most of the their card brands. With their approval the schemes have honored the speed of issuance achieved with DoD technology and its superior durability. Following the acceptance of DoD-based personalization, CARDLINE VERSA is now widely utilized by personalization bureaus. The system has revolutionized the prepaid card industry, allowing for increased card volumes and lower costs without the need for more expensive and less productive embossing or thermal technologies.
