NiSCA provides solution for the University of Arizona
The University of Arizona’s
Students, Staff, Faculty and Associates are truly enjoying the benefit of
a campus-wide, one-card solution. The CatCard is the one card that does
it all. Having worked with NiSCA, the CatCard Office staff is now able to
provide more security and quality to supplement the CatCard’s current
capabilities.
The CatCard is used for payment of meals, printing, copying, parking, bookstore
purchases, and laundry. The CatCard is also used for access to computer
labs, the library, the recreation center and for admission into tests. An
added advantage is that the CatCard can be linked to the CatCard’s
Banking Partner, Wells Fargo, and be used as an ATM/Debit card with a pin
pad.
| "The
success of the CatCard was secured through the careful selection
of vendors, including the printing and lamination equipment.
“It took us six months to evaluate the solution providers.
We looked at 14 providers and had 6 printer demonstrations,”
– says Diane Tatterfield, the Assistant Director of CatCard
Services. Diane added “we had a mixed team of front end
users and Information Technology experts to make our perfect
selection. We selected the NiSCA printers for the printing quality
and flexibility. It was important for us to be able to upgrade
components as needed, upgrade with contact and contactless smartchip
encoding, and with lamination applications at any point after
the purchase of a printer…" |

Ribbon Breaking
Ribbon breaking can
be due to a number of issues. First, the most problem associated with
ribbon breaking is excessive heat. This can be resolved by lowering the
printer’s OD or Optical Density in the service mode of the printer
under adjustment mode. Second, most people do not realize that poor image
positioning on card can cause ribbon breaking as well. An image printing
off the format of your card can cause ribbon breaking also. When the printer
is in the process of printing an image, the card acts as a heat sink and
it absorbs a lot of the print head’s energy. If the image is off
the card, there is no card to absorb the energy and your print head transfers
all its energy into the ribbon causing to break. Finally, not using genuine
Nisca Ribbons can cause ribbon breaking as well as poor image quality.
Also, any service issues due to non Nisca ribbons are not covered under
warranty.Click
here to see our line of Genuine NiSCA Ribbons.
| IMPORTANT
CLEANING TIP: |
Cleaning
your printer after every ribbon change will drastically increase
the life expectancy of your print head. We provide cleaning kits
that work with our automated cleaning function in the user mode.
Each kit will last up to 10k prints. This 10 second cleaning could
save you time and money for repairs. |

How can we control up to 8 printers at
one time from ONE computer?
This
is known as our Central Production Solution. Using one computer, a USB hub
and NiSCA printers you can control up to 8 printers. You can use this solution
to have a production environment that will print up to 1200 cards per hour.
When you send a large quantity of cards the driver will look and find the
printer that is not currently printing and then send the print job to that
printer. If one printer happens to go off line for any reason the other
printers will continue to print.
We can also send specific jobs to specific printers. You can have printers
with different card types i.e.: laminate, Mifare, iCLASS, mag-stripe and
by the card template that you send it will automatically send the job to
the specific printer that is handling that card type.

We hope that our letter will generate communication
between Team Nisca and Nisca users.
