“We are very pleased to be partnering with Matica. We have been working with its printers for over 12 years and have always found them to be reliable and of the highest quality. The brand is well established and fits well with our current product offering. Its high-security 600dpi printers and laser-engraving solutions bring some incredible new products to our portfolio,” said Charles Balcomb, managing director of Databac Group.

Luca Picardi, Matica Regional Director Europe, said: “Databac Group’s position as leading provider in the ID market, together with its operations in these two key territories, will enable us to provide first-class distribution and support of our range of products into Spain and the UK.”

The Matica range includes entry-level card and retransfer printers (Moca, Espresso, and Edisecure XID8100) and professional retransfer printers (Edisecure XID8300, XID8600 and XID9300). Designed to meet high-end requirements, the professional range produces high-security credentials such as ID cards, driving licences and citizen cards. With low printing costs per card together with fast printing times and high-end security features, it is ideal for use by airports, police, universities and large corporations, where there is a need for secure, high-quality colour cards.
