The Magicard Alto is a valuable all-in-one solution for professional card personalization.
Suited for portability and highly visible environments. The Magicard Alto printer's compact, attractive design lends itself to blend in to highly visible environments (e.g., a receptionist's desk) without being an eye sore. It is also extremely light and therefore easily portable allowing it to travel where ever card creation is needed.
Quality printing in no time. Print a single-sided, full color card with the Magicard Alto in just 30 seconds. Plus enjoy printing right to the edge of your cards.
Built-in visual security. The Magicard Alto printer provides built-in visual security with Magicard's own HoloKote anti-copying watermark. This watermark features a 'Waves' design that becomes visible when viewed at an angle. This watermark can be enabled or disabled depending upon your security needs.
An optional HoloKote custom text watermark can be purchased that allows customer-specific text to be printed onto your cards. Your company's Custom Key information is uniquely encrypted and electronically stored onto the key so that duplication is not possible. The Custom Key is also available with a lock feature that acts as a printer lock so that your Alto printer can only be used when this key is in place.
