Magicard Rio Pro Single-Sided Printer

Take the Uncertainty Out of Your ID Printing

 If you do most of your ID card printing in a spurt, you can’t afford to have a printer  that breaks down when you need it most. With the Magicard Rio Pro, you get a powerful print engine designed to withstand continuous printing, with  a 100-card input hopper and 70-card output hopper that support the high volume. Backed by industry-leading three-year coverage with three-year loaner coverage (most printers offer one-year loaner coverage at most), this is the printer that offers complete peace of mind.    

Expect High-Speed

The Rio Pro is fast: a full-color card in about 24 seconds (about 150 per hour) and a monochrome card in about 7 seconds (about 500 per hour).

Sleep Easy, Knowing Your Cards Are Forgery-Proof

Holokote is a Magicard patented technology that prints a secure watermark on every card, without using any special laminate or ribbon. The Rio Pro comes standard with a choice of 5 HoloKote designs and 1 Holokote Flex design (Flex designs can be sized to your specification). Plus, when paired with HoloPatch cards, one area of the watermark becomes a highly-visible gold security seal, so you can issue cards with outstanding visual security—at no extra cost.

Issue Striking ID Cards With Pride

The Rio Pro prints vibrant full-color or monochrome images. (Like all direct-to-card printers, it leaves a thin unprinted border at the card edge.) What sets the Rio Pro apart from other direct-to-card printers is its use of ICC color profiles. This technology ensures that the image you print is as close as possible to the image you see on your screen. Display your brand’s professionalism with these super-accurate images. 

Anyone in Your Office Can Print

Designed for convenience and ease-of-use, the Rio Pro displays print status and cleaning, card, and ribbon alerts on a 4-line LCD display, with colored buttons for easy menu selection. Load the cards onto the 100-card input feeder for batch printing or hand-feed through the input slot for single prints. Either way is simple and straightforward enough for anyone to operate.

Save Money by Using Rewritable Cards

The Rio Pro can print on rewritable cards. This technology allows you to print—blue or black only, erase, and reuse the same card. With the Rio Pro’s flexible printing options, you can batch-print your organization’s info on one side of the rewritable card in full color, and then hand-feed the card to print employee or student info on the second side using rewritable printing.

Optional Dual-Side Printing

Not sure if you will need to print on both sides of the card on a regular basis? No problem. You can choose the sIngle-sided Rio Pro now and then upgrade when you need to with a drop of a special ribbon - literally. It’s a simple upgrade with no hardware or tools necessary.

Optional Custom Watermark

Although the Holokote watermark is standard on every Magicard printer, with the Rio Pro you have the option of customizing the watermark with your own company logo or seal.

Optional Extra-Capacity Hoppers

Choose larger card-hoppers: Use a 200-card input hopper, and a 115- or 200- card output hopper (all sold separately) for even higher printer capacity.

Configure the Rio Pro According to your Needs

The Rio Pro can be factory-upgraded to support magnetic stripe, smart chip and contactless encoding. Factory upgrades must be ordered at time of sale.
