Self-expiring visitor badges, which change colour overnight so they can't be reused, have long been available for direct thermal printers. But these print only in black and white, including visitor photographs.

"Now users of visitor management systems can benefit from both the added security of expiring badges, as well as the improvement in quality afforded by full-colour inkjet printers," says Noel Turner, Data Management VP of Sales.


In addition to having more identifiable photographs, badges printed on ink-jet printers can be customised with a logo and colour-coded for better access control, according to Data Management VP of Product Development, Richard Reed. "The professional appearance that people are used to seeing on permanent employee I.D. cards can now be replicated on our self-adhesive visitor labels," he says.


The new self-expiring badges for inkjet printers will be on show at the company's Visitor Pass Solutions booth at the ASIS International 58th Annual Seminar and Exhibits September 10-12, 2012, in Philadelphia, PA. National Account Executive Deborah Miller will be on hand to answer questions, as will Ms. Turner and Mr. Reed.
