Card Exchange Professional Card and Print Manager

Card Exchange is in use world wide providing a powerful yet cost effective solution which allows government agencies, universities, corporations, as well as small businesses to issue high quality secure credentials.

In practice, it frequently happens that companies use several card layouts that do not need to be redesigned very often.  Consequently users of card printing programs, rather than a designer orientated interface, need a single accessible window where they can quickly select a card layout, find the correct employee or student, take a photograph and print their identity card.  In many cases, in-line electronic personalisation must be carried out as well.  Besides functionality for loading cards, defining fast database connections with powerful filters, performing simple card management, printing directly to Windows printers etc, it is now also possible to create an internal view or query.  Card Exchange also includes its own card layout designer.  From now on, issuing new identity cards will be completed in a few seconds.
