RIO single-sided printer

The new Magicard Rio is a simple to use, fast printing, high security colour printer, suitable for all single sided CR80 ID card applications.

Ease of use is ensured by the Rio's front access controls, drop-in dye film loading, open access card feeder and stacker, and the simplest ever T-card cleaning system.

High speed Printin9 is facilitated by the new Windows '98 and Windows 2000 software driver which offers on-screen printer status and extremely fast downloads via the built-in parallel and USB interface ports.

Using full colour five panel (YMCKO) dye film, the Rio can download and print a full card image in around 20 seconds, giving 180 cards an hour throughput rate - even when every card is unique.

Protection from forgery is achieved thanks to 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. A standard HoloKote logo is built into the Rio, 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.

Rio owners can also feel secure in the knowledge that their printer is built for heavy duty usage and is ideal for both batch printing and occasional issue applications.

In the unlikely event that anything should go wrong, the Rio is covered by the best no-quibble warranty in the business. Two years UltraCoverp/us protection is provided free in the EU and North America. This unrivalled plan provides free printhead replacement regardless of the cause of failure and includes a free leaner service if a printer has to be returned for repair.

On top of all these features, the Magicard Rio offers superb, high quality, edge-to-edge printing and it looks good. With the right front-to-back orientation, the Rio fits unobtrusively into any single-sided printer office environment and is whisper-quiet in operation.
