Prints Single-sided Secure ID Cards
The Magicard Rio 2e is a single sided printer that prints high security color ID cards. The Holokote Key prints your choice graphic and text watermark across the surface of the card. The Holokote Key can also be used to lock the printer, preventing unauthorized use of the printer. The Magicard Rio 2e prints top quality images, high speed printing, on-screen printer status and both USB and Ethernet interface ports. It offers magnetic stripe, contact, and contactless smart encoding options. It is compatible with Windows 7, XP and Vista (32 bit). The Magicard Rio 2e is ideal for batch printing because of its high speed.

The Holokote watermark available only on Magicard printers, is the most economical visual security for ID cards. It costs nothing extra to print, unlike expensive holographic laminates. For highest security, a custom watermark can be printed when a low cost Custom Key is specified.

3 years of free factory warranty service and parts is included with every new Rio 2e printer. Up to 2 additional years can be purchased. A free loan printer is available in the event a service center repair is required. (North America, EU, and selected other countries only). Competitors can charge several hundred dollars for a similar warranty.

With built-in USB, Ethernet and Parallel interfaces, the Rio 2e can be used in all situations. The new graphical Plug & Play Driver makes installation and printer operation easy.

The Magicard Rio 2e has a metal print engine construction for long-term robustness, and to ensure consistent card print quality.

Many Contactless (proximity) card encoding options are available, as well as Contact Chip, Magnetic Stripe and barcodes.

The patented Magicard HoloKote anti-forgery card protection eliminates the threat from fake IDs. HoloKote is an anti-copying watermark printed across the entire card surface. When the card is viewed at an angle, the HoloKote watermark provides visual authentication. There is no additional cost involved in printing HoloKote cards.

When used with the optional Magicard HoloPatch card stock, one of the HoloKote logos is highlighted by a highly reflective gold 'super-diffuser' patch, making the logo clearly visible under all lighting conditions. HoloKote with HoloPatch has a similar appearance to credit card hologram seals.

For the highest security, order your printer with a Custom HoloKote key. This secure memory card stores a custom logo and plugs into a dedicated port on the Magicard printer. When the Custom Key is connected, the stored logo is printed as a watermark in the protective coating during the print cycle. You provide us with your logo design, and we program it into a Custom Key.
