Entrust Sigma Financial Card Printers are specifically designed for today's cloud environments and have the ability to easily issue the most secure financial cards in the world. With the growing demand for contactless technology solutions, Sigma systems make it easy for banks and credit unions to provide permanent, fully activated cards through drive-up service and drive-thru windows – providing an instant and convenient card-user experience when a replacement card is needed.
The Sigma DS4 is Entrust's most user-friendly financial card printer, with an intuitive dashboard that lets users see print status, order supplies, check cleaning status, update firmware, or contact help – all from a mobile device.
"Entrust has paved the way for direct-to-card issuance technology for years, and the Sigma DS4 just raised the bar even higher. Financial institutions will be blown away by the capabilities of this unique solution," said Tony Ball, senior vice president of instant issuance at Entrust. "The Sigma DS4 allows financial institutions flexibility to meet the needs of card users now and into the future – from instant delivery of replacement cards via the drive-up or drive-thru to managing supplies and maintenance remotely – all so that the printer is ready to go when a card user needs it most."
