The AlphaCard PRO 550 system makes it easy to batch print professional quality cards and is ideal for mid-volume applications.

The PRO 550 printer is designed for mid-sized card printing jobs with a 100-card input hopper and a 70-card output hopper. For one-off card printing, an alternate single-feed slot is available.

Choose single-sided printing when ordering your PRO 550 for the ability to print single-sided cards with no effort, right out of the box. If you decide later on that you want to upgrade your printer, dual-sided printing can be added with a simple drop-in upgrade.

The PRO 550 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. For dual-sided cards, choose a YMCKOK ribbon.

Black monochrome ribbons are also available with or without an overcoat panel (choose the overcoat ribbon if you want an AlphaGuard watermark on your monochrome cards).

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 and won't interfere with your card's design. AlphaGuard makes it easier to identify authentic cards and deters card tampering or duplication.

Choose from 2 styles of watermark designs:

• 4 x 6 pattern (4 designs included)
• Full-face design (1 design included)

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

To protect your cardholder and business data, the 550 printer includes our new digital shredding security feature.

With digital shredding, the data sent to your card printer for each print job is fragmented after use so your printer cannot be used to see what has been printed and access your cardholder information. This is incredibly important for organizations that need to meet data security standards.
