Magicard Printers : A Differentiator in ID Card Security

Ultra Electronics card systems, the international defense, aerospace and security group, has been designing and manufacturing its range of Magicard secure ID card printers since 1993. Recognized as one of the world’s leading brands of card personalization equipment, Magicard Secure ID card printers are designed for all types of ID badging and Access Control applications. 

Want to protect your cards from tampering, counterfeiting or physical abuse?

Security is increasingly important for universities, colleges and schools. Whether it's registering students, knowing that only your authorized staff have access to your facilities, or ensuring that parents have confidence in the safety of their children; ID cards have an important part to play.

All Magicard printers offer card security features, so that even the most basic card printing application is protected from card alteration or tampering attempts. These patented security features—HoloKote and HoloPatch—are unique to Magicard printers and provide protection at a minimal cost to all users.

Magicard HoloKote is a transparent watermark that prints across the surface of your cards. All Magicard printers are programmed with at least one HoloKote design that can be turned on or off in the driver settings based on your needs. When used with Magicard HoloPatch cards, one of the HoloKote logos is highlighted, producing a highly-visible gold seal on your cards for distance visibility.

For ultimate protection, opt for a custom HoloKote watermark featuring your company's logo/text. Custom HoloKote is available with the 'professional series' of Magicard printers (Alto, Rio 2e, Tango 2e and Tango +L).

But do your student ID cards offer you the level of functionality and security you need?

The use of cards in education ranges from traditional Photo ID badges, through access control cards that include magnetic stripes, smart chips or proximity / contactless technology, through to complex multi-application cards that also handle cashless payment and loyalty schemes. Magicard ID card printers are able to print all the card features you need for all these cards (photos, barcodes, and security features) and can also write data to the magnetic stripes and chips embedded in the cards at the same time as printing the card.

Magicard printers create photo ID badges, membership cards and various technology cards for a variety of applications:

§         Faculty and student photo ID badges

§         Library cards.

§         Clubs and Societies

§         Cashless purchases for meals and vending machines.

§         Subsidised meal programs.

Magicard printers range from the low cost Opera, thru the high performance Rio 2e and Tango 2e models, the single to dual-sided field upgradable Enduro to the top-of-the-line color printer & laminator Tango +L and re-transfer Prima 3 models.   

Peace of mind…

Magicard printers have earned an industry reputation and leading edge for reliability and high performance.  Magicard’s three-year comprehensive UltraCoverPlus warranty, which includes overnight loaners at no charge, and direct manufacture tech support gives our customers peace of mind for their investment.

So why should you choose a Magicard ID card printer:

§         Our unique patented Holokote puts visual security on your cards at no extra cost.

§         Great value printers range from the Magicard Opera and Tempo for low-volume applications, through to the Magicard Enduro Rio 2e & Tango 2e for volume printing.

§         You can print all the features you need at the same time as writing to magnetic stripes and embedded chips.

Magicard printers are sold through most major access control OEM’s, security integrators and dealer channels.
