Season Special - The Basic Secure Photo ID System

This lightweight, full-color card printing machine provides portability and simplicity for card printing on the go. Ideal for printing small quantities of cards, the Alto M is a manual, single-feed printer useful for producing retail gift cards, membership cards andcustomer loyalty cards on an occasional basis. It's also great for conventions and trade shows, since its 7 pound weight makes it easy to transport. Plus, the Alto M's magnetic stripe encoder allows you to create cards that can store much more information than those only equipped with barcodes.


As an anti-forgery measure, every Alto M can print a holographic watermark in a wave pattern across the face of each card. If you want to use your own watermark design, you may upgrade by purchasing an Alto Custom Key Card, which allows you to print a custom watermark featuring text you provide (2 lines of 6 characters) and only prints when the Key is present. When used with Magicard HoloPatch cards, one section of the HoloKote watermark can also be highlighted as a high visibility security seal. And because this printer comes with a three-year warranty in North America, the EU and other selected countries, peace of mind is a standard feature of every Magicard Alto.
