Retransfer Printers

A retransfer printer prints your card design onto a clear film first, then fuses that film onto the card. That gives crisp edge-to-edge results and sharper detail than a standard direct-to-card machine. You will also see it called reverse transfer printing. The two-stage process suits secure and high-volume work where card quality matters.

The retransfer printers listed here are the Magicard Prima 8 Re-Transfer Printer and the Magicard Ultima Retransfer Card Printer. Both work with standard CR80 cards, the credit card size of 85.6 x 54mm, on the PVC blanks most organisations already use.

The Magicard Prima 4/8 Laminator Uno and Laminator Duo are laminating modules for the Prima 4 and Prima 8. They add a laminating layer over the printed card. The Uno applies film to one side and the Duo to both, so you can build in extra durability and tamper resistance where cards take daily wear. Each printer and laminator is supplied as a single unit.

The Prima 8 and the Ultima both suit organisations wanting professional-grade printing for staff passes, membership cards and access credentials. Add a Laminator Uno or Duo to a Prima when cards need to survive years of scanning and handling, for example on university campuses or across larger sites. If you need compatibility confirmed with your specific card stock or reader technology, we will check that with you directly. The team at Plastic ID can also point you to the right machine and consumables for your volumes.

Magicard Prima 8 Retransfer Printer The Magicard Prima 8 Retransfer 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 300 dpi output as standard for sharper images and text, printing capabilities to the edge of the card, and robust security features such as UV printing, which uses 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 is FIPS 201 compliant and listed on the GSA Approved Product List, and supports various encoding options such as magnetic stripe and smart cards (contact / contactless).Reverse-transfer printing is what makes this possible: images are printed onto a thin film first, then heat-transferred onto the card. This gives a print quality comparable to offset litho, and works well on uneven surfaces like smart cards.The Prima 8 prints up to 100 full-colour cards per hour, backed by a 100-card input and output hopper for handling volume without constant reloading. It comes with a logical printer lock as standard, a 3-year warranty and lifetime printhead cover, and connects via USB or Ethernet for straightforward integration with existing card design software.The Magicard Prima 8 Duo adds double-sided printing at up to 600 dpi, useful when a card needs to carry more than a photo and name on the front, such as terms of use, a barcode, or emergency contact details on the back. It still prints up to 100 cards per hour and keeps the same reverse-transfer process, 100-card input and output hopper, printer lock, and 3-year warranty with lifetime printhead cover as the single-sided model, so double-sided printing doesn't come at the cost of speed or reliability.

Powered by a high-grade processing unit with an impressive array of features, Ultima is ideal for the localised or centralised issue of high volumes of secure smart cards.   An intuitive touch screen with print preview and supplies indicators provides an easy-to-use interface to Magicard’s most advanced and durable print engine. Ultima enables you to print up to 100 high-definition full-colour cards per hour. Print quality means staff can quickly and easily identify the facial features on ID cards for comparison against the holder. This makes it the ideal solution for drivers’ licences, national ID cards and other cards where security is paramount. The Ultima retransfer printer has built-in visual security via up to 10 secure HoloKote® watermarks. That means you can distinguish different departments with a separate holographic design if you choose to do so. For additional built-in security, Ultima exploits the wavelengths of the dye film so it can fluoresce under UV lighting. High capacity consumables (1000 prints) and hoppers, combined with a range of encoding options to write secure electronic data to the card, make the Ultima ideal for high volume localised or centralised issuance of secure smart cards. High-quality reverse transfer card printing The key to the Magicard Ultima is the reverse transfer (also called retransfer) printing process. Unlike the standard dye sublimation process, your card design is first printed on a clear film and then adheres to the card surface. This process gives you a higher definition of print quality and allows you to print successfully, even on smart cards with uneven surfaces. It also gives you additional card durability and tampers resistance so that the cards will last longer. Secure ID cards with Magicard HoloKote® As with all Magicard printers, the Ultima comes with the built-in HoloKote® system and prints a secure watermark across the face of every card at no additional cost – the first reverse transfer printer to offer this. New with the Ultima, you can now print a Secure HoloKote® – a fluorescent version of the HoloKote® watermark that will show up under black light, adding another layer of security to your cards. Choose from 10 standard patterns of Secure HoloKote®, printed using the specialised YMCKS secure colour ribbon...
