Panini has begun selling the Cardmint FX retransfer printer with CardsOnTheSpot personalization software, creating a complete solution which enables FIs to create personalized credit, debit, or ATM cards in real-time at branch level, allowing customers to use an active card for making purchases immediately upon leaving the branch.

The Cardmint FX is an extremely robust, proven and easy-to-use dual-sided printer that provides FI’s with the capability of printing any image on EMV-compliant magnetic stripe, contact chip, and contactless cards. Retransfer technology produces brilliant colors printed over-the-edge, leaving no unprinted white border. With its compact size, the Cardmint FX fits neatly into any branch environment, and can be used behind the counter without creating distractions.
The Cards On The SpotTM software provides a complete, fully integrated browser-based platform to instantly issue multiple high-quality printed card types – ATM, debit and credit – using the Panini Cardmint FX retransfer printer.
