Thin plastic cards are quickly gaining popularity around the world for health care, mass transit systems, highway tolls, parking, membership and customer loyalty programs. Because the cards are thin, flexible and lightweight, theyre easy to mail, attach to a patients chart or slip into a billfold. And with the Persona C30e, thin cards are as easy to produce and as good-looking as any other plastic ID card.

PRINT. ERASE. REPEAT.

Some cards, such as visitor badges or transit passes, are used for hours or days, then thrown out. The Persona C30e helps eliminate the waste of short-lived cards with the remarkable ability to erase and rewrite cards multiple times. Its all done with special heat-sensitive cards that are printed and erased by a heating element in the C30e printhead no conventional printing ribbon is involved. Rewritable cards offer exciting new ID applications such as: customer loyalty cards with updated point totals, library cards with current due dates, personalized IDs for volunteers, student IDs with schedule information and many more. And while rewritable printing is monochromatic, cards can be preprinted in full color on the reverse side so theres no compromising appearance quality. Since the printing on rewritable cards is easily changed, they should not be used for secure ID applications.
