What is a Holokote®?
The patented Magicard HoloKote® anti-forgery card protection eliminates the threat from fake IDs.
HoloKote is an anti-copying watermark printed across the entire card surface. When the card is tilted, the HoloKote watermark provides visual authentication. Compared to custom holographic laminates, it's a mere fraction of the cost, and available in days, not months. You can also print as many cards as you like with your Custom HoloKote design.
This kit allows you to customize the watermark with your own logo or design so that each HoloKote printed on your cards is unique to your printer. Their are a variety of different options for the custom HoloKote design.
Custom HoloKote is delivered in a box containing a CD and RFID card. Simply upload your custom graphic to the firmware of your printer (from the CD). Then drop your unique RFID card (also provided) into a slot in the printer and it acts as a key to enable the secure logo/graphic to be printed.
What kind of options can I choose from in this kit?
Their are two layouts for the custom HoloKote. The first is the grid design which can be seen below. Your logo or design is displayed multiple times across your card. The second layout is the HoloKote FLEX design which is a full size, secure custom HoloKote watermark. Custom HoloKote FLEX imprints a logo watermark of any size and location on the card.
Besides choosing from different layouts you also have the option of adding a locking feature to HoloKote RFID card that comes with the kit. The locking feature adds extra security for your printer and custom HoloKote design by disabling your printer unless the RFID card is plugged into your printer. This allows you to make sure no one has access to printing cards on your printer unless you want them to.
How HoloKote® is printed onto the card?
Color cards are printed using a thermal transfer YMCKO dye film. After the color image has been printed onto the card, the clear Overcoat panel is applied to protect the image from fading or scratching. Magicard’s thermal transfer printer models have a unique facility called HoloKote for frosting a security watermark into the clear overcoat during the print process. This is a patented feature and unlike most other security logos, it involves no extra cost of printing.
