AlphaCard Ultra Secure ID Systems make secure card printing easy and affordable

With the release of its new Ultra Secure ID Systems, AlphaCard is making it easier than ever for organizations to launch highly secure photo ID programs. AlphaCard's Ultra Secure ID Systems provide a cost-effective solution for those wishing to print durable ID cards that are well protected from tampering and illegal duplication. Each system features a top-quality PVC card printer that can apply a secure custom watermark across the surface of every printed card. User-friendly photo ID software is also included, along with printing supplies and a digital webcam for capturing high-quality ID photos.

Alpha Card Systems is a long-trusted provider of custom ID systems and solutions. These new offerings serve to bridge the gap between high-value and high-security ID card printing. There are two variations of the Ultra Secure ID System. The first features the Magicard Rio 2e ID card printer. The Rio 2e is a powerful single-sided printer that quickly produces full-color photo IDs suitable for card programs of all types and sizes. Besides its durability, a key attribute of this printer is its ability to print highly secure ID cards featuring a custom watermark for enhanced card security. This Custom HoloKote Key is included with the system. Users are able to create a watermark featuring their own logo or text. The watermark is visible when the card is held at an angle.

The Ultra Secure Duplex ID System, which also includes the Custom HoloKote Key, boasts the Magicard Tango 2e dual-sided ID card printer as its centerpiece. The Magicard Tango 2e prints both the front and the back of each ID card in a single pass. This saves time and resources, and also expands the design area buy allowing users to include unique information on both card sides.

Both systems include AlphaCard Light, an intuitive photo ID software platform that simplifies the process of designing, printing and managing ID cards and cardholder records. The software offers a wealth of user-friendly tools such as pre-defined card templates, rich text formatting, conditional design rules, and a standalone database.

AlphaCard's Ultra Secure ID Systems are available for a limited time only. Visit AlphaCard.com for more information.
