KICTeam Develops New Check Scanner Cleaning Product For Epson's CaptureOne™ Check Scanner
AUBURN, Maine—August 4, 2008—KICTeam, the industry leader in the manufacture of cleaning cards, is pleased to announce that the company has developed the Waffletechnology™ Cleaning Card for Epson’s CaptureOne Check Scanner. The cleaning card provides CaptureOne customers a way to efficiently clean all parts of the device including the transport, track, MICR head and scanner glass. The CaptureOne desktop scanner is a reliable check capture device for back office capture and remote deposit capture applications for financial services and retail applications.
Working closely with Epson, KICTeam has developed a cleaning card specifically designed for use with Epson’s CaptureOne check scanner. With the introduction of KICTeam’s Waffletechnology in late 2004, the technological foundation was already in place to produce a preventative, effective cleaning solution. The cleaning card waffles are flexible raised platforms that allow the card to clean previously unreachable areas within the check scanner.
“In an effort to optimize the effectiveness of the cleaning card, it was extremely important to work closely with Epson during the development process,” stated Debra Ross, product manager of KICTeam. “Each company wanted to guarantee the integrity of the final product as well as ensure that the cleaning card would not damage a CaptureOne check scanner in any way. KICTeam is pleased that the final result has been so well received.”
“Many products currently on the market are either inefficient or harmful to the devices we produce. KICTeam’s Waffletechnology cleaning card offers CaptureOne customers an excellent way to clean all parts of the device,” said Ken Fang, product manager/banking and payments, Business Products Group. “The Waffletechnology helps to ensure better MICR accuracy and paper handling, extending the life of CaptureOne.”
