By incorporating a hologram-like watermark across printed cards, there's no need to purchase additional printer supplies. It's also significantly easier to validate geniune ID cards and identify tampered or counterfeit cards. Choose from four standard AlphaGuard designs that come pre-loaded in the printer driver. As a special bonus with the AlphaCard PRO 550 ID card printer, you'll also get one Custom AlphaGuard - a $598 savings - absolutely free! Choose from four secure designs that are repeated 24 times in a 4x6 grid over the face of the card. Easily turn the AlphaGuard watermark on and off or to hide sections of the grid with the intuitive printer driver. Learn More about AlphaGuard.

• Secure printing features
  To protect your cardholder and business data, the 550 printer includes our new digital shredding security feature. With digital shredding, the data sent to your card printer for each print job is fragmented after use so your printer cannot be used to see what has been printed and access your cardholder information. This feature is ideal for organizations that need to meet data security standards.


• Photographic quality images
  Capable of color printing at 300 x 300 dpi (dots per inch), the 550 ID badge maker from AlphaCard takes advantage of a wider color spectrum which offers vibrant and color-rich output. This allows for a more authentic representation of the imagery that's used on ID cards for an accurate portrayal of corporate logos and other images.


• Fast print speeds
  Perfect for low- to medium-sized print jobs, the PRO 550 card printer features a 100-card feeder with a 70-card stacker. Like more expensive ID card printer models, the PRO 550 boasts faster print speeds - minus the expensive price! This value-packed badge maker prints up to 160 full-color or 720 monochrome dual-sided cards per hour - as fast as more expensive models. Using dye-sublimation print this affordable ID card printer provides photo-quality, 300 dpi resolution for the best-looking credentials made for less.
