The CIM K400C Features

  • Design: Manufactured by Eltron and the same, except for the case, in every way as the infamous P420C this dual sided K400C offers exceptional value for money. Reliable, low cost consumables and a great appearance.
  • Powerful: Speed is a very high 144 cards per hour for full color and 1000 per hour monochrome. These figures depend on the size of the image (both physical and data size). Options include a 3 track Hi/Lo-Co switch able magnetic encoder and smart card contacts
  • Smart & Simple To Use: The CIM K400C card printer comes standard with a Windows driver which features a « monitor port » function which informs the user via the computer that an intervention on the printer is needed (card feeder empty, end of ribbon, printer cleaning, etc.).
  • Economical: The CIM K400C is capable of using our Generic Ribbons that reduce the cost of printing a full color card to less than 20 Cents (Not including card cost.)
  • Rainbow Standard ID software: Rainbow Card Printing Software is a free addition to the CIM K400C card printer. Rainbow Card Printing Software is the perfect tool for graphic, magnetic, and electronic personalization of plastic cards. Rainbow Card Printing Software facilitates the creation and printing of all your cards: company badges, business cards, membership cards, loyalty cards etc, and gives you the possibility to build a source of different card layouts instantly.
  • Card Five Software - Where a more robust feature set of card software is required, we recommend the Card Five Software.  This software works directly with the CIM K400 printers using DCL or Direct Command Language and is much more cost efficient than purchasing the upgrade license to the Rainbow Card Printing Software.

CIM K300 MAG Upgrade Option
Printer with HICO/LOCO magnetic stripe encoder
K400C Dual Sided PVC ID Card Printer with Dual HiCo/LoCo Mag Encoder + $500.00

The K400C Mag is a color / monochrome sublimation printer which includes an encoder for magnetic stripe cards.

This encoder allows you to personalize your cards in two different modes:

  • ISO 7811 Norms using tracks 1, 2 and 3 (standard factory settings)

  • Custom mode for specific applications (with different track formats, density per track, start and stop characters…). For magnetic specific encoding developments, please ask us the programming guide or contact our technical support.

Not forgetting to mention that the encoder can be defined by the user to operate with either a low (300 Oersteds), medium (2750 Oersteds) or high (4000 Oersteds) coercivity, by a simple click via the Windows driver. To set the medium coercivity, select high coercivity in the Windows driver.

CIM K400C SMART
Printer with smart card contact station
CIM K400C with Smart Card Contact Encoder + $400

Give an "intelligent" dimension to your cards by taking advantages of the K400C SMART Printer from CIM.

The CIM K400C SMART is based on the characteristics of the New Pebble printer and integrates a Smart Card Contact Station which enables you to personalize the chip cards. The CIM K400C SMART is compatible with any ISO 7816-2 Chip Cards.

The push & contact system of the Smart Card Contact Station provides the contact with the card only when a personalization of the chip is required. This advantage ensures a better Contact Station durability and a higher card printing quality as it prevents scratches on the card surface.

This option is factory settings as standard and not field upgradeable.
