Magicard Prima 8 Retransfer Printer

The Magicard Prima 8 is a high-end retransfer ID card printer crafted for secure, high-resolution, edge-to-edge card issuance. It's ideal for government, corporate, and other high-security applications. Its key strengths include:

Exceptional print quality: Utilises retransfer technology (printing onto a thin film before applying it to the card) delivering photo-quality, glossy images right over the card edge.

High-resolution output: Boasts 600 dpi print capability, enabling crisp microtext and finely detailed graphics, including CJK characters at 1.3-point size.

Security-ready: Features such as inline or post-print holographic overlays, UV printing for invisible elements, and a standard logical printer lock enhance card security.

Reliability: Comes with a 3-year MagiCoverPlus warranty (including printhead replacement and loaner printer).

Flexible encoding options: Supports magnetic stripe encoding and a variety of smart card standards (contact chip, MIFARE®, DESFire®, iClass®, EMV) for versatile integration.

Connectivity: Equipped with USB 2.0 and Ethernet (10/100-Base-TX) for easy network or local interfacing. 

Compact design: Measuring approximately 343 × 320 × 330 mm (13.5" × 12.6" × 13") and weighing around 15.5 kg (34 lbs), it’s suitable for desktop deployment.

High throughput: Capable of printing up to 100 cards per hour (colour or monochrome, single-sided) with both input and output hoppers holding 100 cards.
