Perfect for small businesses and organizations, the Magicard Pronto ID Card System comes with everything you need to print ID cards easily and quickly. At the heart of the system is the Magicard Pronto ID card printer. Paired with software and printing supplies, this system has everything you need to get you started on professional ID card printing right out of the box.

Magicard Pronto ID Card Printer

The Magicard Pronto is a compact and affordable ID card printer perfect for low-volume on-demand card printing. This single-feed printer delivers edge-to-edge full-color printing on durable PVC cards. The Pronto is well-suited for a range of ID applications including employee and student IDs, membership cards, loyalty cards, and more.

Magicard Pronto Key Features
  • Printing Capability: Single-sided
  • Print Technology: Dye sublimation
  • Print Speed: Full color single-sided cards in 35 seconds, monochrome in 7
  • Input/Output Hopper: None, single-feed only
  • Warranty: 2 year limited manufacturer warranty
Easy, Low Volume Printing

Each card is hand-fed into the printer and printed individually. It takes just 35 seconds to produce a full-color photo ID, and only 7 seconds to print a monochrome card.

Loaded with intuitive features, the Magicard Pronto is very easy to set up and operate right out of the box. The printer features a color-coded status LED screen, a USB interface and a Microsoft-certified plug-and-play driver.

Secure Cards with Magicard HoloKote

Like most Magicard printers, the Pronto offers a high level of card security. It comes standard with Magicard's patented HoloKote watermark system. With HoloKote, you can apply a secure holographic watermark across the surface of each printed card at no additional cost. HoloKote help to prevent illegal duplication, and also adds an extra layer of protection against everyday wear and tear. Your choice of four HoloKote patterns is selectable from the printer driver.

When used with Magicard HoloPatch cards, one area of the HoloKote watermark is highlighted as a high-visibility security seal.

Pronto Printer Warranty

The Magicard Pronto ID card printer comes with a two year limited manufacturer warranty.

Card Design Software For PC Or Mac

Card design software makes it quick and easy to design cards, print them, 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

AlphaCard ID Suite Basic edition software does not include a cardholder database, and is designed for one-off ID card printing. The Pronto's small size and versatile features make this system a great choice for many applications. 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.

New in AlphaCard ID Suite v11: Enhanced card design wizard, high resolution barcodes, full compatibility with Dymy thermal labels, and improved language options.

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 Mac-compatible software. 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, or connections for 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.

Please Note: This printer's Mac driver does not support barcode or magnetic stripe encoding.
