It’s all about the card . . .
HoloKote is an anti-counterfeiting watermark across the entire card surface, which becomes visible when the card is viewed at an angle. There are no additional costs involved in printing HoloKote cards. Standard dye film is used to print HoloKote images on standard plastic cards.

HoloKoteฎ
The Ultra patented built-in HoloKote security watermark comes free with every Tempo, Opera, Avalon, Alto, Rio 2e, Tango 2e and Tango +L printer.

HoloPatchฎ
Completely unique to Magicard, HoloPatch cards have a highly reflective gold ‘super diffuser’ seal. When used in conjunction with the HoloKote anti-counterfeiting feature, the security mark is highlighted for distance visibility.

Custom Key
Choose your own text and/or logos for the HoloKote and HoloPatch security features, using the Custom Key. Rio 2e, Tango 2e, Tango +L and Alto only.

Edge-to-Edge
Edge-to-edge full color printing produces a high quality 300dpi image right to the edge of the card.
