Finding the right ID solution can be tough. To help speed up the search AlphaCard designed a variety of photo ID systems that meet the specific needs of a variety of industries including fire and police departments, and construction sites. We’ve created systems for each level of the industry, from started systems, right on up to systems including premium technology. Each are tailored to meet the needs of the specified industry. All systems include a professional ID card printer, ID card software for designing ID cards and storing records, a digital camera, and printing supplies and accessories.

Magicard HoloPatch cards are a unique card technology for exclusive use with Magicard printers. All Magicard printers come with the built-in HoloKote system that adds a secure watermark across the face of every ID card printed. HoloPatch cards are designed to provide an additional measure of security for ID cards printed using Magicard printers.

Designing an ID card program is not just an opportunity to streamline company processes by adding functionality and security; it’s also a chance to express the aesthetics of your business or organization. A wide range of design elements to choose from makes it easy to customize an ID card program to the style and needs of any group. Before starting the design process, here are a few key pieces of information to take into consideration:

High definition printers combine superior print quality with security to produce sharp and detailed ID cards. The high definition printing process differs from that used by dye sublimation printers. High definition printers do not print an image directly onto an ID card. Instead, HDP printers print images, text, barcodes, and other graphics onto a clear film. A heated roller inside the ID card printer then presses the film to the blank surface of an ID card. The combined heat and pressure fuses the film to the surface of the card.
