Printing ID cards in-house allows you to control how secure you cards are, including limiting access to the cardholder database and what security features to include in the design. If you’re looking for an easy way to include more visual security into your cards, have you looked in Magicard HoloKote?
HoloKote, a feature available exclusively on Magicard printers, allows you to add hologram-like watermarks to your cards. A major benefit of HoloKote is the cost – you won’t require any additional materials, special lamination, or cards to print the watermark!
Magicard printers are able to do this by using the already included overlay panel of your ribbons to create the watermark. And because it’s available on even the budget-friendly Pronto printer, there’s a HoloKote for everyone.
Curious what watermark options you have with HoloKote? Three designs are available on all Magicard HoloKote printers – a key pattern, interlocking cubes, and globes. On the Pronto and Enduro+ printers you also get a wave pattern; the Rio Pro has a cube and standard flex pattern.
One additional feature exclusive to the Rio Pro is the ability to design a custom HoloKote unique to your organization. Your custom design can be used as either a “flex” image, where a large image is placed anywhere on the card, or a “repeating” image where a small image is repeated 24 times in a grid.
