The Magicard Alto is the smallest and lightest full color ID printer on the market.
At only 7 lb you can set this up printer up almost anywhere. Great for temporary events like trade shows and outdoor concerts.
Easy to use, easy to maintain
The Magicard Alto's high speed printing is facilitated by the new software drivers which offers on-screen printer status and extremely fast downloads via the built-in parallel and USB inface ports. This is in addition to the front access control buttons.
Every card is precleaned before printing with Magicard's T-card cleaning system. Changing ribbons is a snap with drop in dye film loading. You don't have to thread on the roller and the printer automatically detect the dye film type and informs your computer. All you have to do is add up to 100 cards to the open access feeder and go
Added security for no extra cost
Protection from forgery is achieved thanks to Ultra's patented HoloKote system which cannot be copied or bypassed. This unique security feature imprints a repeating frosted security logo into the overcoat during the normal print cycle. A standard HoloKote logo is built into the Alto, but increased security can be achieved therought he use of an encrypeted custom logo which is electronically stored in a miniature 'Compact Flash' sized UltraSecure key. HoloKote costs absolutely nothing to use, and the custom logo turnaround times and set-up charges for Utlrasecure keys are minimal.
Magicard Alto owners can also feel secure in the knowledge that their printer is built for heavy duty usage and is ideal for both batch printing and occasional issure applications.
