Magicard Prima 8 Retransfer ID Card Printer

The Magicard Prima 8 Re-transfer ID card printer is a high-end printer designed for producing high-quality, durable ID cards and inherits the most successful features and outstanding print quality from previous generations. It offers ultra high-resolution of 600 dpi for sharp images and text, printing capabilities to the edge of the card, and robust security features such as HoloKote® watermarks and UV printing, which use the specialist YMCK-UV ribbon. With the UV feature, you can print images that are invisible to the naked eye but can be revealed under a UV light source, enhancing card security and preventing cloning. Suitable for corporate, educational, governmental, membership, and financial environments, this printer supports various encoding options such as magnetic stripe and smart cards (contact / contactless). Known for its fast printing speed, reliable print results and high-capacity input/output handling, the Prima 8 connects via USB and Ethernet and is compatible with multiple card design software solutions, making it ideal for environments needing secure, long-lasting identification cards.

The Prima 8 uses reverse-transfer printing technology, where images are printed in a "reverse image" format onto a thin retransfer film and then heat-transferred onto the card. This process produces a card quality comparable to offset litho printing, with the added benefit of allowing each card to be uniquely customised.

The Magicard Prima 8 is capable of both single sided and double sided card printing depending on the specific model or configuration you choose. If you need dual sided printing capabilities, make sure to verify that the model you're purchasing includes this module, or see if it can be upgraded to support double sided printing.

600 dpi Resolution

Magicard Prima 8 Printer FAQs

Why is the Prima 8 an expensive printer?

The Prima 8 is more expensive than your standard ID card printers because it utilises re-transfer technology which is designed for the highest-quality images onto your cards. It features a 600dpi printing resolution, producing clear and eye-catching images, and includes Holokote and UV printing which prevents card cloning and increases security.

This high-end professional printer is ideal for large businesses looking to enhance their card production quickly without having to worry about long-term reliability or performance.

Is it worth me purchasing the lamination module with this printer?

We recommend the Prima 8 lamination module for people using cards in busy environments where damage or wear and tear may take place. This is to protect the cards designs from fading or scratching, as the protective overlay film will prevent this from happening.

Who is the Magicard Prima 8 best suited for?

The Prima 8 is ideal for a few of the following:

Corporate businesses looking to create frequent ID cards
Schools and universities for staff and student IDs
Government for enhanced security measures
Healthcare sector
