Alpha Card Systems adds versatile Magicard Pronto ID card printer to product catalog

Alpha Card Systems is excited to introduce the latest innovative ID card printer to roll off the Magicard assembly line. The Magicard Pronto is a compact single-feed card printer that makes ID personalization affordable and easy. This budget-friendly printer meets the needs of small to medium-sized organizations requiring high-quality card printing with effective visual security options.

AlphaCard is a global leader in secure ID card solutions for a wide variety of industries and applications. With the addition of the Magicard Pronto, AlphaCard continues to provide customers with the latest cutting-edge printers from the ID card industry's most trusted manufacturers.

Magicard's new release is unique in that it offers a number of high-security features not commonly found in other printers of its class. Most notably, the Pronto gives users the ability to apply a secure HoloKote watermark across the surface of each printed card at no additional cost. Four standard security watermark designs are selectable from the printer driver. The HoloKote watermark system increases visual security, reduces the risk of illegal duplication, and adds an extra layer of protection from everyday wear and tear.

Because the Pronto is a single-feed printer, it's ideal for low-volume applications. Each card is fed by hand and printed individually, making the Pronto a smart choice for fast, on-demand card printing. The printer's compact size makes it easily portable, and its sleek design is suitable for any counter or desktop.

The Pronto is also extremely easy to operate. With user-friendly features such as a USB interface, a plug-and-play driver, and a 3-color LED status indicator, the Pronto makes it possible to print secure, personalized ID cards straight out of the box.
