HoloKote

HoloKote is a patented visual security feature only available on Magicard printers. When selected in the printer driver, the Opera prints a daylight visible security watermark that can be viewed when the card is tilted.   A standard “waves” pattern HoloKote is included with every Magicard Opera. There are no additional consumables costs involved in printing HoloKote. Standard dye-film is used to print Holokote images on standard cards.

HoloPatch cards combined with HoloKote provide a distance-visible security gold seal allowing a security guard or colleague to easily verify badge authenticity from a distance of six feet or more. HoloPatch card stock can be ordered separately.

High quality 300dpi images, with true colors, right to the edge of the card.

FAQs?

How can I encode Magnetic Stripe cards?

The Opera 105 printer has a built in HiCo Magstripe encoder. To ensure that the magnetic encoding is compatible with your card readers all the printer default settings are set to meet ISO std. 7811. The built-in magnetic encoder writes to Tracks 1 and 2.

How do I keep the Opera printer running smoothly?

For optimum performance and high quality printing, the manufacturer recommends a regular cleaning cycle using Magicard cleaning cards, available through our resellers. For best results use a cleaning card after every 100 cards are printed.

What is HoloKote & how do I use it?

This is a security feature only offered with Magicard printers, allowing the user to print a transparent watermark into the clear overcoat on the card. The watermark is only seen when the card is viewed from an angle. With the Opera printer, the watermark image is a fixed design "waves" pattern.

What is HoloPatch and how do I use it?

HoloPatch is a special cardstock option which includes a metallic patch in one corner of the card to highlight one area of the HoloKote security pattern for enhanced visibility.
