Holokote , Holopatch And Ultrasecure Security Logos - Magicard Rio User's Reference Manual

HoloKote, Holopatch and UltraSecure Security Logos
The counterfeiting or creation of fake ID cards has never been easier, but now, thanks to
Magicard's HoloKote key controlled anti-counterfeiting card protection feature, an affordable
solution is available.
Protection from forgery is achieved thanks to Ultra's patented HoloKote system which cannot
easily 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 and for easy recognition at a distance. HoloKote with HoloPatch has a similar
appearance to credit card hologram patches.
A standard HoloKote logo (a key symbol) is built in to 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 set-up charges for UltraSecure
keys are minimal
Warning: The printer must be switched OFF before fitting or removal of the UltraSecure key.
