Evolis Quantum Evolis Quantum is a modular encoding and printing system for centralized card production. It gives you the power of a centralized system and the flexibility of a desktop printer. Quantum is ideal for personalizing the cards in large quantities. The right customers for Quantum are banks, card manufacturers, bureau services, universities and other organizations. Quantum is the best solution for these markets to encode and print their badges in high volume. Quantum is best suited for: ? ID and membership cards ? Loyalty cards ? Transport season cards ? Event passes (trade shows, concerts, etc) ? Student IDs ? Payment/Banking cards ? Calling cards, SIM cards Evolis Quantum has the fastest through-put in its category of printers. It can print more than 1000 cards per hour in monochrome and 125 cards per hour in color. It can easily combine graphics ? high resolution text, logos, pictures and barcodes. Quantum features high quality hoppers which store up to 500 cards. They are detachable and interchangeable. An additional hopper is available as an option. As cards can be preloaded in hoppers, this saves your valuable time. It can reduce down times to less than a minute. The hoppers are dust-free. The unique feature of Quantum is the reversible encoding unit. This helps to print the same side of the card without flipping it over. It supports windows 7, Vista and XP. Evolis Quantum is upgradable on-site. Its electronic board allows you to plug your own coupler. Its LCD screen displays the printer`s operating status at any time; like the number of cards remaining in the feeder, cleaning alerts and much more. What else? Quantum is easy for operation and maintenance. Above all, it is an affordable printing system.
One of the most common is hormonal imbalance. Women have both estrogens and androgens (male hormones). As we age, the levels of both hormones naturally decline. However, the ratio between the differences declines and it can look as if we suddenly have more of the male hormones, and therefore stray hairs. In addition, there are some medications that can stimulate the growth of stray, darker, coarser hair such as phenytoin, cyclosporine, anabolic steroids, combination medications with testosterone such as estratest, and minoxidil (used for high blood pressure as well as baldness in men). Sometimes though, excessive facial/body hair can be a result of physical and medical issues. For example, polycystic ovarian syndrome and obesity (adipose tissue can produce androgens). Occasionally it can be related to adrenal tumors. In these cases one will see more than just the occasional stray hair on the face. If this is happening to you, see your health care provider. So what can do you about it? Women have been looking for ways to permanently remove hair for years. There does not seem to be an easy fool-proof permanent way to deal with facial hair. Treatments include:
According to many dermatologists, electrolysis seems to be the only method for permanent removal. Vaniqua, which is relatively new in the past few years does not seem to work for all women. The long term effectiveness is unknown at this time. As with most things, there does not seem to be a one-size-fits-all solution to the problem of the stray facial hair. You will most likely need to try various treatments and see what works for you. However, keep in mind if the hair seems excessive or you have concerns, please speak with your health care provider for further evaluation.
