Details

Perfect for small businesses and organizations, the Starter Hand-feed ID Card System is specially designed to print one-off cards in small batches when you don't need to save cardholder records. This makes the system an affordable choice for small businesses or volunteer organizations that only print a few cards at a time.

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.
