The Magicard Tango II is a simple to use, fast printing, high security
color printer, suitable for all dual sided CR-80 ID card applications.
Ease of use is ensured by the Tango'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 printing 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 color six panel (YMCKOK) dye film,
the Tango II can download and print a full double-sided card image in less than 25 seconds,
giving a throughput rate of over 140 cards an hour - 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 every Tango, but increased
security can be achieved through the use of an encrypted custom logon 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.
Tango 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 Tango is covered
by the best no-hassle warranty in the business. Two years UltraCover plus protection is
included free in North America and the EEC. This unrivalled plan provides
free printhead replacement regardless of the cause of failure and includes a free loaner
service if a printer has to be returned for repairs. All other customers are provided with
a one year warranty.
