Magicard Rio PRO Card Printers, HoloKote, Rewritable, Magnetic stripe encoding

The Magicard RioPro is a professional ID card printing solution designed for organisations that require flexible, secure and high-quality on‑demand card issuance. Combining Magicard’s proven Rio Pro engine with built‑in visual security options, the platform supports single‑ and dual‑side workflows, extended long‑card formats and optional encoding for magnetic stripe, contact and contactless media. It is suitable for corporate access control, events and ticketing, education and retail applications where reliable throughput, accurate colour reproduction and visual anti‑fraud features are essential. Compact yet capable, the RioPro family balances performance, network connectivity and rewritable/thermosublimation print modes to meet varied B2B deployment needs without unnecessary complexity.

Key Features

• Versatile printing modes: Supports dye‑sublimation/thermal transfer and ReWrite (rewritable) modes to address permanent, temporary and reusable card workflows.
• Built‑in security: HoloKote watermarking and HoloPatch support add a visible, tamper‑resistant security layer without lamination.
• Flexible encoding: Optional encoding for magnetic stripe, contact smart cards and contactless technologies (MIFARE, DESFire, iClass) extends credential functionality.
• Networked deployment: USB and Ethernet connectivity provide straightforward workstation or networked printing integration for multi‑user environments.
• Long‑card and batch support: Models handle standard CR80 cards and extended lengths up to 140 mm, with input hoppers and output stacks for efficient production.
• High quality and speed: 300 dpi resolution with ICC colour management delivers sharp graphics and photos while offering fast full‑colour and monochrome print times to suit different throughput needs.
