System Special

The Premium Fire ID System is geared towards fire departments with strict security requirements and high-volume card printing needs. Fire ID cards serve a number of important functions at the firehouse, and out in the field. They help to identify firefighters and emergency responders during critical situations when every second counts, and they can also play a part in access control systems, check-in/check-out procedures and many other applications. Because of the importance of these cards, card security is a key concern. The Premium Fire ID System features everything you need to produce highly secure, dual-sided fire ID cards.

The system includes the Magicard Tango 2e dual-sided ID card printer, a secure Magicard HoloKote Key, Alpha Card Standard photo ID software, biometric fingerprint and signature capture devices, printing supplies, and a digital camera.

The Magicard Tango 2e is an outstanding solution for printing secure fire ID cards. This model prints both card sides in a single pass, saving time while expanding your design options should you choose to include security elements such as electronic signatures and fingerprints. Also included is a custom HoloKote Key. HoloKote is a secure watermark that is printed across the surface of your cards at no additional cost. This helps to prevent tampering and illegal duplication. The Custom HoloKote Key lets you design a secure watermark featuring your own logo and text. The printer also supports HoloKote Flex which lets you imprint that custom watermark anywhere across the card surface at any size. When used with Magicard HoloPatch cards, one section of the HoloKote watermark can also be highlighted as a high visibility security seal.

For added card security, Alpha Card's Premium Fire ID System includes a signature capture pad along with a fingerprint sensor so you can include unique biometric data on your fire ID cards.

The system comes bundled with Alpha Card Standard ID card software. Alpha Card provides user-friendly tools for designing and printing your ID cards, and managing your fire ID card program.
