Flexible Card Printing. The PRO 500 printer is designed for mid-sized ID card programs and can be easily upgraded from single-sided printing to dual-sided printing. You can order the upgrade when you order your printer, or do it later using the drop-in field upgrade.
The PRO 500 has a 100 card input hopper and 30 card output hopper. An alternate single-feed slot is available for one-off card prints.
AlphaCard premium dye-film ribbons are available for the PRO 500 printer. For full colored single-sided cards, choose a YMCKO ribbon; for dual-sided cards, choose a YMCKOK ribbon that prints full color on the front and monochrome black on the back.
Black monochrome ribbons are available with or without an overcoat panel (use the KO ribbon for printing monochrome cards with AlphaGuard watermarks). There are also monochrome ribbons available in eight colors or metallic finishes.
Built-in AlphaGuard Watermark Technology. The built-in AlphaGuard technology allows you to add a hologram-like watermark over your printed card without any additional supplies. The watermark can be seen when light is reflected off the card and won’t interfere with your printed card design. This added layer of visual security makes cards harder to tamper with or duplicate.
Choose from four secure designs that are repeated 24 times in a 4x6 grid over the face of the card:
- Secure shield grid
- Globe grid
- Geometric box grid
- Wavelength grid
You can easily turn the AlphaGuard watermark on and off, or hide sections of the grid, from within printer driver.
