Unique primerless interceptor ribbons increase durability and performance, while secure-K panel encrypts sensitive information

Entrust, a global leader in identity-centric security solutions, today announced the launch of the new Artista RS4 Instant Issuance System, an innovative solution that is set to replace the existing Entrust Artista CR825. Drawing from decades of experience and building upon the foundation of the Artista series, the RS4 introduces a host of new features designed to provide unparalleled performance, security, and durability for payment card issuers.

In a highly competitive financial market, the race to enhance customer satisfaction and gain loyalty is heated. The Entrust Artista RS4 Instant Issuance System offers the capability for the instant issuance of personalized financial cards, utilizing secure, over-the-edge retransfer printing and encoding within a single, streamlined printer. This system ensures banks and credit unions can meet customer expectations in the moment with high-quality, personalized, and fully activated financial cards.

Key advancements in the Artista RS4 include:

• Primerless interceptor ribbons available in gloss or satin film options, enhancing performance and durability while capturing market momentum. This unique feature allows for faster card printing, producing more durable cards with less wasted materials. It’s a win-win-win for efficiency, quality, and sustainability.
• Builds upon the industry-leading security features the Artista system is known for, such as Secure Boot and TPM, now complemented by the new Secure K-Panel, which encrypts sensitive information to ensure ribbon safety and data integrity.
• A sleek new design with an updated enclosure, skin color, display, QR code, and LED indicators, reflecting the modern aesthetic and advanced functionality of the system.
