The Advantage 2000 series is our tabletop card embosser line with a reputation that stands on its own. The M2 and M3 embossers are both fast and user-friendly embossers that can easily manage heavy card volumes and be configured so that in one quick pass the system can emboss, print, encode, and program a smart card.
Markets: • Financial • Government • Retail • Insurance
Applications: • Financial cards • Patient cards • Membership cards • Insurance cards
Both the Advantage 2000 M2TM and M3TM embossers feature NBS’s industry proven embossing technology, but the system can also be configured to add such features as magnetic encoding, smart card, colour tipping, indent printing, monochrome thermal printing and automatic card stacking. The M2 and M3 also support all Visa and MasterCard security characters. The M2 and M3 are the ultimate in flexibility as the machines can be configured to meet customer requirements at the time of purchase and upgraded to include additional features as personalization requirements change. Your capital investment is safe since the machine can be upgraded instead of replaced.
The M2 and M3 embossers can be operated either online from a host system using its internal formats or connected directly to a PC using the NBS SmartSys™ Tabletop software. SmartSys Tabletop software is a powerful Windows® based card design and production package. SmartSys Tabletop was developed by NBS and features a graphical interface for easy card design, and job setup. The software is not only used for card layout, but also handles input data from a database or data file as well as formatting of card fields such as encoding, images, text, etc.
