Compact and portable ID card printer
Lightweight but robust, the Magicard Pronto’s small footprint makes it ideal for a reception desk or an office environment. Its portability and versatility comes with no compromise in print performance, making it ideal for remote ID card issuance at events or in the field.
Anybody can print ID cards with a Magicard Pronto
Power it up, install its easy to use driver, drop the dye film in and you are ready to go. Combine it with TrustID Classic and you have an instant solution that could have you printing identity cards in minutes.
Versatile – print colour or rewrite cards
Print vibrant full colour cards or use thermally activated rewrite cards – and print, erase and rewrite in monochrome. Rewritable cards are ideal for visitor management or for loyalty card printing.
Save money on consumables by printing the reverse of the card in full colour and rewriting the front surface up to 500 times.

With comprehensive telephone and online support.
