The counterfeiting or creation of fake ID
cards has never been easier, but now, thanks to Magicard's
HoloKote key controlled anti-counterfieting card protection
feature, an affordable solution is available.
Protection from forgery is simple and dependable with Ultra's
patented HoloKote system which cannot be copied or bypassed.
This unique security feature incorporates a repeating frosted
security logo into the overcoat laid down during the normal print
cycle. When the card is viewed normally, the feature is invisible,
revealing only the underlying text and portrait. When flexed
or held at an angle to direct light, the feature is clearly visible
on the face of the card.
When used with the optional Ultra HoloPatch™ card stock,
one of the security logos is highlighted by a highly reflective
gold "super-diffuser" patch, making the logo clearly visible
under all lighting conditions. HoloKote™ with HoloPatch™ has
an appearance similiar to credit card "hologram" patches.
A standard HoloKote logo is built into the
Magicard Rio and Tango card printers, but increased security
can be achieved through
the use of an encrypted custom logo which is electronically stored
in a miniature "Compact Flash" sized UltraSecure ™ key.
HoloKote costs absolutely nothing to use, and the custom logo
turnaround times and set-up charges for UltraSecure keys are
minimal. Holopatch cards are also extremely cost effective in
view of the the level of protection and visibility gained.
