AlphaCard PRO 100 ID Card System

#ACP-PRO100-L11

Overview

Details

The AlphaCard PRO 100 ID card system makes it easy to print high quality ID cards on demand.
New Standard in On-Demand Printing

The PRO 100 uses a hand-fed printing process that lets you create cards on-demand.  Just insert a card into the feed slot to print it; for dual-sided cards, just flip the card over and run it through a second time.

The PRO 100 uses high quality dye film ribbons, available in several different styles. For full colored cards, choose a YMCKO ribbon which includes an overcoat panel to protect the card and print the AlphaGuard design.

Black monochrome ribbons are available with or without an overcoat panel (choose the overcoat ribbon if you want an AlphaGuard watermark on your monochrome cards). There are also monochrome ribbons in a variety of other colors and metallic finishes.

Built-In AlphaGuard Watermark Technology

Print secure ID cards at no additional cost with the built-in AlphaGuard technology using standard printer ribbons and cards.

The hologram-style watermarks are easy to see when light is reflected off the card, but don't interfere with your card design. AlphaGuard makes it easier to identify authentic cards and deters card tampering or duplication.

Choose from four pre-set grid design:

  • Secure shield grid
  • Globe grid
  • Geometric box grid
  • Wavelength grid

You can choose from these designs, and control other AlphaGuard settings, through the printer driver.
