Details

An affordable starter bundle, the AlphaCard PRO 100 ID Card System makes it easy to design and print professional cards. Combined with basic ID software and premium supplies, this complete system includes everything you need to print your first 100 cards.

Need help getting started? All AlphaCard PRO series printers include training and set up assistance, lifetime AlphaCare support and a full year of AlphaCarePlus.

AlphaCard PRO 100 ID Card Printer

Designed for low volume printing, the PRO 100 uses a hand-fed process that prints professional quality cards on-demand. Simply insert each card into the front of the printer; within seconds the printed card will be returned through the same slot. For dual-sided card designs, just flip each card over and run it through a second time.

Great for small offices, the PRO 100 features a compact footprint that saves desk space. Equipped with an LED status screen and a Microsoft-certified plug-and-play driver, you'll be surprised at how intuitive it is to set up and start printing cards.

AlphaCard PRO 100 Key Features
  • Printing Capability: Single-sided
  • Print Technology: Dye sublimation with AlphaGuard watermark
  • Print Speed: Full color cards in 35 seconds, monochrome in 7
  • Input/Output Hopper: Single feed
  • Connection: USB
  • Warranty: 3 years with Pro-Xchange
Flexible & Efficient Card Printing

The PRO 100 printer uses dye-film ribbons which are available in a variety of options, giving you flexibility. Included with this system is a full color 100-print YMCKO ribbon which contains an overcoat panel to seal in each card as an extra layer of protection. PRO series black monochrome ribbons are available with or without an overcoat panel. There are also monochrome ribbons available in a variety of colors including metallic finishes and a specialty ribbon for creating scratch-off panels.

AlphaGuard Watermark Technology

The built-in AlphaGuard technology allows you to add a hologram-like watermark over your printed card without any additional supplies. The watermark can be seen when light is reflected off the card and won't interfere with your printed card design. This added layer of visual security makes cards harder to tamper with or duplicate.

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.

Card Design Software For PC or Mac

AlphaCard software makes it quick and easy to design, print, and manage your cardholder database. With software features ranging from the very basic up to advanced design options, you'll find software and database options for ID card programs of every size.

AlphaCard ID Suite Basic – PC

AlphaCard ID Suite Basic edition makes it easy to design custom ID cards with text, photos, logos, barcodes, and more to fit your organization's unique needs. Use the pre-defined card template to start designing your IDs instantly, or create your own templates in just a few easy steps.

AlphaCard ID Suite Basic software is designed for one-off ID card printing, and does not include a cardholder database to store cardholder data. Upgrade to AlphaCard ID Suite Light software for a wider range of card design options and functionality, including a database that holds up to 200 records.

AlphaCard ID Builder – Mac

If you will be designing and printing cards from a Mac computer, you'll need to select the AlphaCard ID Builder software which was specially designed for Mac OSX. AlphaCard ID Builder is easy to use and comes in several different editions with a wide range of powerful design and database features. This software is compatible with Mac OSX 10.5 and above.

AlphaCard ID Builder Basic is entry-level software with a built-in database that holds up to 300 records (100 with photos). AlphaCard ID Builder Standard has an unlimited built-in database, and can also be connected to an external XLS, XLSX, CSV, or TXT database. AlphaCard ID Builder Professional connects with external SQLite and MSAccess databases, and allows for multi-layout card designs. AlphaCard ID Builder Elite is the most advanced version with ODBC connections to an external database and user management.
