AlphaCard Compass ID Card Printer

#ACV-COMPASS, ACV-COMPASS-MAG

Overview

Details

Batch printing cards is easy with the 100 card input hopper and 30 card output hopper, saving you time and effort over printers that require you to manually hand-feed each card. The AlphaCard Compass prints cards quickly and efficiently, taking just 35 seconds for full-color cards and 7 seconds for monochrome.

Dual-sided printing is the easiest way to add additional information to your ID cards by utilizing the space on both sides of the card. The AlphaCard Compass dual-sided printer works by printing the front side of the card, automatically printing it, and then printing on the back side of the card.

Magnetic stripe encoding allows your organization to store data on your cards, a popular feature in ID cards used for to pull up cardholder information including student ID cards, library cards, retail rewards programs, and gym membership cards.

Key features of the AlphaCard Compass:

  • Built-in AlphaGuard watermark system
  • Single-sided or dual sided printer
  • Full color cards in 35 seconds
  • Monochrome cards in 7 seconds
  • 100 card input hopper, 30 card output hopper
  • Dye sublimation printing technology

The AlphaCard Compass ID card printer comes with the built-in AlphaGuard watermark system—this lets you burn a hologram-like watermark over the top of your finished cards for easier card identification that makes your cards harder to tamper with or duplicate for added security. And the AlphaGuard watermark system comes at no additional cost and requires no special supplies or materials!

Secure Cards with AlphaGuard

Your AlphaCard Compass comes equipped with free AlphaGuard—a unique printing technology that allows you to print a holographic-like watermark image over your cards, using no additional materials or upgrades! This helps to prevent counterfeiting of fake cards, card tampering to alter cardholder data, and makes it easier to authenticate real cards.

Rewritable Card Technology

In addition to the traditional printing process, you can print rewritable cards with the AlphaCard Pilot. Using specialized rewritable cards that are made from temperature-sensitive materials, you can print on, erase, and reprint each card up to 500 times to save on supplies. Please note that rewritable cards are only available in blue or black, and do monochrome printing only.

Exclusive AlphaCare30 Membership
