Dealers and distributors can save on inventory by just stocking the single-sided printer and the upgrade kit, although they can also hold pre-configured double-sided units if they prefer.

Andy Matko, the Magicard business manager says: "This is the most exciting development in ID card printers for a decade. Users need buy only as much printer as they need to get their project launched, safe in the knowledge that they can upgrade at any time in the future. Dealers also get a great opportunity to enrich the sales or the after-sales experience for the customer by offering simple up-sell options".

Of course, the Enduro also offers all of the usual Magicard features including a choice of four HoloKote security watermarks and an optional ISO magstripe encoder.

With a 100 card feed hopper the Enduro is capable of handling any big print job, but for special applications there is also a front panel slot for hand-feeding cards when required. With an attractive style and colour changing LCD display with buttons, a USB interface and Microsoft XP and Vista plug & play driver, the Magicard Enduro is all round easy to use, from installation to double-sided upgrade.
