Magicard Pronto100 ID Card Printer

Magicard Pronto100 ID Card Printer Overview

The Pronto100 is Magicard's fastest printer in its smallest package. It's built for small offices, schools, and businesses that need professional ID cards without a large-scale system or costly setup. It's a hand-fed printer able to print a full-colour card in 23 seconds (with a higher-speed colour option with slightly less quality at 18 seconds), and monochrome cards are printed in just 5 seconds.

How It Prints

The Magicard Pronto 100 uses direct-to-card dye-sublimation printing, applying full colour edge-to-edge onto standard CR80 cards. It's rewritable too, so a card can be wiped and reprinted rather than thrown away when a design needs changing. This is really useful for temporary passes or anything that gets updated regularly. USB and Ethernet connectivity both come as standard, so it fits onto a shared network from day one rather than needing a workaround.

Security Built-In as Standard

Every Pronto100 includes HoloKote watermarking, which is included on most Magicard printers. HoloKote is a visual security watermark that Magicard prints directly into the design of a card, a faint pattern or logo (there are three standard designs to choose from) that overlays the printed image and makes cards difficult to reproduce or fake. It's there to make a counterfeited or tampered card obvious at a glance, without needing any special equipment to check it.

Digital Shredding is also included with this printer, which renders data unreadable after each job to help with GDPR compliance. It's also threat-benchmarked, tested against the same security standards used on Magicard's higher-end printers, so security is not scaled back because it's the smaller model. For an extra security layer, HoloPatch cards are available, which add a reflective security mark that makes cards even more difficult to replicate.

Day-to-Day Management

Clix, Magicard's remote management interface, lets you monitor supplies, check printer status, and manage maintenance without needing to be standing at the printer itself, which is handy if it's not sitting on your own desk.

Is This the Right Printer for You?

For standard staff ID, membership, and visitor cards without encoding, the Pronto100 is a fast, easy-to-use choice with lots of features that aren't commonly found in this price bracket. However, as a direct-to-card printer, the Pronto100 isn't recommended for access control cards with an embedded chip; printing directly over a raised chip can damage the printhead. If you need to encode cards for door access, the Magicard 300 is the better starting point.
