Whatever your needs for ID badge and card printing, Ultra's Magicard card printer family has the right solution for you. Magicard color ID card printers range from the low cost Alto, through the high performance Rio models, up to our top-of-the-range reverse transfer Prima. Security features & support are simply the best. With Ultra ID Card and Photo Badge printers, you will have the answers to your ID and badging needs.

ID or Identity cards, as their name implies, are used to identify individuals. Common applications include company ID cards, access control cards, membership cards, retail loyalty cards and government cards like driving licences. ID cards are different from many other types of cards we use, such as credit cards, because ID cards are personalized to individual and organizational needs. Personalization means photos on the card, people’s names, organization names, but can also extend into signatures, barcodes, and other forms of identification. Many cards these days also have electronic means of identification, such as embedded chips and magnetic stripe.

Print photo ID badges, membership cards, smart cards and access control badges. Choose the right Magicard printer for your needs. Our unique patented HoloKote visual security features, 3 year Ultra Cover warranty and renowned support set us apart in the ID card printer industry.
