The MC200 ID system can be ordered single- or double-sided. For added flexibility, a simple drop-in upgrade is available for customers whose needs change from single- to double-sided cards. The printer has HoloKote visual security built-in and offers a magnetic stripe encoding option.
Extra Security at no extra cost
The patented Magicard HoloKote® anti-forgery card protection eliminates the threat from fake IDs.
HoloKote is an anti-copying watermark printed across the entire card surface. When the card is tilted, the HoloKote watermark provides visual authentication. There is no additional cost involved in printing HoloKote cards.
How HoloKote is printed onto the card.
Color cards are printed using a thermal transfer YMCKO dye film. After the color image has been printed onto the card, the clear Overcoat panel is applied to protect the image from fading or scratching. Magicard’s thermal transfer printer models have a unique facility called HoloKote for frosting a security watermark into the clear overcoat during the print process. This is a patented feature and unlike most other security logos, it involves no extra cost of printing.
Available on all Magicard printers (except the Prima), the built-in HoloKote watermark is a user option controlled by driver settings.
Custom HoloKote and HoloKote FLEX watermarks can be ordered separately for use with our professional series, Rio 2e, Tango 2e and Tango L secure ID card printers.
We are so confident of the quality and robustness of our Professional Series printers, that we offer a full three year UltraCoverPlus warranty in North America, the EU, and selected other countries.
UltraCoverPlus reduces printer downtime by providing a free loan unit until the repaired item has been returned.
We promise to :
UltraCoverPlus goes beyond helping you out when there is a problem. It also means access to our skilled team of Support Engineers, who have more than 5 years experience on average in supporting Magicard printers. They are ready to answer your questions and advise you on getting the best out of your Magicard printer.

With the built-in Ethernet capability on Magicard printers, users obtain greatly enhanced operational efficiency, especially for large facilities with multiple ID card printers such as universities, events organisations, retail and other public venues.
Having multiple printers on the network allows printing to continue while a ribbon is being replaced on one printer. This duplication increases overall system reliability; since any PC can print to any card printer on the network, there can be immediate rollover to working machines in case of technical issues with a PC workstation or a printer.
Card printing flexibility is also substantially increased by network connectivity. For example, a PC workstation creating identification cards can now be located in a different room or in a different building from the card printer. Or, a card printer can be located near high-volume workstations yet be shared by users who only occasionally print cards and who are located in other areas.
With built-in Ethernet, card printer users save time and preserve valuable counter space.
Magicard ID card printers support a wide range of card encoding in the printer.
Mag stripe: A dual coercivity HiCo/LoCo magnetic stripe encoder option which offers encoding on all three tracks with complete user format flexibility.
Chip contact: Optional ISO 7816 internal smart card chip encoding contact station can be combined with the magnetic stripe encoder option (Specify/MS).
Contactless – Various contactless smart card encoding options are available: MiFAre, HID i-Class, Inside Technologies, Desfire options available.
