Q-Lab is staffed by leaders in the mag strip and plastic
card and ticket industry who have dedicated their careers to card products and quality
since the invention of the magnetic stripe card.
Mag Stripe Analysis
{ GET A
QUOTE }
- Check all mag stripe physical and encoding parameters against ISO
- Determine why a mag stripe fails to read or fails to meet ISO or customer
specs
- Determine if mag stripe has surface profile problems that are affecting the signal amplitude or jitter
- Evaluate raw materials-is the tape supplier providing good mag tape
- Determine if mag stripe cards are being exposed
to erasing magnetic fields
- Analyze mag stripe noise which can lead to the
plastic bag solution at POS
- Evaluate how mag stripe stands up to physical
abuse and abrasion
- Certify that mag stripe cards meet all industry requirements
