CardPresso XM
Seamless Database Integration:
In addition to its internal photo-capable database, XM supports connections to XLS, XLSX, CSV, TXT files, MS Access, and SQLite. Users can search, query, and pull live data directly from these sources keeping ID issuance accurate and up to date across platforms.
Advanced Encoding & Barcode Support:
XM enables the creation of ID cards with magnetic stripes, 1D barcodes, and sophisticated 2D barcodes, such as QR codes and PDF417. It also includes face-detection tools that automatically crop images for a clean, professional look. The software supports smartcard plugins and encoding scripting, extending functionality for contact and contactless cards.
Dynamic Design & Conditional Automation:
With multi-layout project support and conditional printing rules based on database fields, XM allows users to design multiple card types such as staff, visitors, or contractors in a single project. The Face Crop tool ensures face images are centered and consistent, while real-time previews help avoid misprints and save time.
Upgrade Path & Support:
XM includes free minor updates and can be easily upgraded to XL or XXL for more advanced RFID encoding, ODBC connectivity, and centralized licensing providing a scalable solution that grows with your organizational needs.
