Confidence and Data Security Come Standard

Security underpins all Magicard printers with these features for secure ID badges:

  • Digital Shredding | Data fragments upon print, becoming irrecoverable; your printer won’t be a data repository, aligning with stringent data regulations, like GDPR
  • HoloKote | All models add one of four standard watermark designs to every card; 300 and 600 offer custom watermarks (e.g., your logo)
  • HoloPatchⓇ | We offer ID cards with a reflective, gold-tone HoloPatch that clearly highlights a watermark in any lighting
  • Threat Benchmarking | Routine scanning of the U.S. National Vulnerability Database and auto-updates maintain optimal performance and compliance
  • Single Line Encoding | Optional on the 300 and 600, data is specifically packaged at the source, i.e., data center, for digital unpacking only at the printer

Magicard’s standard features transform credentialing hardware into secure endpoints. Review our secure badge printer family and upgrade to access control assets, not liabilities.
