The NiSCA PR-C101
Rockets out of the Starting Gate!

The NiSCA PR-C101 success is credited to the printers’ enriched design that is suitable for any user and their working environment. With hundreds of units sold to date it is obvious the printer’s elegant styling and environmentally friendly design easily separates it from the low-cost low-featured competitors.

The NiSCA PR-C101 card printer features a lightweight construction and small footprint—allowing it to be accommodating in the smallest of workspaces and easy enough to store on a shelf or under a counter when not in use. With a simple driver setting change, you can switch the card exit location from the front or back of the printer—whichever orientation best suits the parameters of your workspace. Its industry-first rotating LCD panel provides you complete, easy-to-read printer status messages and diagnostic prompts. And its all-in-one ribbon cartridge and cleaning roller makes refreshing consumables and cleaning the internal print path easy and virtually maintenance-free.

Get your application up and running within minutes with an out-of-the box solution of comprised of an YMCKO ribbon, PVC cards, and entry level ID card software from ExchangeIT.

Keeping your printer secure with the printer’s security port from which you can attach a cable for locking purposes to thwart any unauthorized handling. You can additionally password-protect your card printer within the printer driver, allowing only authorized users to produce cards.

Now this unmatched quality can be found in the small package of the PR-C101. With this single-sided card printer, you can print 2 point font text on your ID card and it will be legible!

Finally, the PR-C101 badge printer is equipped with an outstanding warranty package that includes two years of printer and printhead, PLUS a two-year loaner printer service that is sent for your use in the event that your printer is in need of repair.

2007 Another Great Success for Team NiSCA!

Team NiSCA had another record-breaking year! Printer sales were up by over 30% and the introduction to of the new PR-C101 made for an exciting fourth quarter. We won some major programs in the US, Europe, The Middle East and in Asia. We made some new partnerships and new friends. Thank you all for a great year!

Our sales channel is to thank for our great success in 2007. We have a small but very effective sales channel that understands customer service, loyalty, and the value of quality at the end-user level. In 2008, Team NiSCA will make some strategic improvements to the channel to increase end-user satisfaction and product availability, but will not make any drastic additions to our value added reseller base.

In addition to the US domestic business successes, Team NiSCA’s international business is growing tremendously. We have added some new partners in the Australia, Belgium, France, Indonesia, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UAE that have all helped to grow our international business; so much so that Team NiSCA is installing a repair and order fulfillment center in Europe.

As many of you know, we began shipping the new PR-C101s late in December so we are only now beginning to hear the excitement from the channel. I am pleased to announce that with the hundreds of PR-C101s sold to date, we have not experienced a single DOA. In addition, the PR-C101’s mean time between failure has increased to 100,000 cards (single sided YMCKO)! This is a vast improvement over the initial estimated rating of 20,000 cards. With MTBF rates this high, we have decided to strictly limit the number of PR53LE printers we hold in inventory. Due to the PR-C101’s encoding options, speed of printing, price point, and now MTBF data it can easily replace the PR53LE.

In 2008, Team NiSCA is expecting similar growth and will continue to beat the same drum of “Value for the Future”. In addition to the expected new features of the PR-C101 (magnetic encoding, contactless encoding, etc), we anticipate announcing a new printer by year end. Sorry I can’t give away all our good news at once, you will have to stay tuned-in. Thank you again and I wish you the best of success in 2008!

Warmest regards,
Rob Miskelly
Business Manager, Team NiSCA
