Magicard HoloKote™ is an effective and budget-friendly solution for an organization looking to add an additional level of security to their ID cards. Magicard’s proprietary HoloKote technology is featured on all Magicard ID card printers (excluding all Prima printer models).
HoloKote provides a unique visual security layer that’s similar to holographic film or laminate. It adds a hologram-like image onto the surface of cards through the overlay ("O") panel of the ribbon during the printing process.
Available in both standard and custom holographic styles, HoloKote provides a variety of security options for a diverse set of business needs. Standard HoloKote images are free because the HoloKote image is created during the application of the “O” panel on a YMCKO or YMCKOK color ribbon. As a result, there are no additional printing costs.

If you decide to have a custom design created with a unique HoloKote image – such as your company’s name, logo, slogan or other desired text, there is a modest one-time set-up charge for encrypting your custom artwork on a key.
The watermark-style image that is visible only when the PVC card is held at an angle. The entry-level Magicard printer models include a standard image when you purchase the printer (available on the Pronto, Enduro, Enduro Duo, and Rio
Pro). In addition to the standard HoloKote patterns, Magicard’s high-end printers give you the ability to create a custom HoloKote FLEX™ Key. This upgradable option is available on select Magicard printers.
The
HoloKote FLEX key offers the ability to lock your printer as well as create a custom HoloKote image. In the past, the layout of the
custom HoloKote image was restricted to a pattern where the image was repeated six times across the card in four rows.
