Matica Printers

Matica XID8600 Retransfer Card Printer Dual Sided An high level printer designed with any industry that requires high security in mind for the production of personalised passes, badges and accreditationStaff and membership cards that double as access passes need more than a decent photo print. The XID8600 is Matica's top-of-the-line retransfer model, delivering 600 dpi full colour double-sided printing sharp enough to render text as small as 1.3pt, ideal for photo ID, logos and fine security detail. It also handles a wide range of card materials, including PVC, Composite PVC, ABS, PET and Polycarbonate, so the card stock can be matched to how much wear and tear it needs to survive.Built on a metal chassis for day-to-day reliability, it runs from a 200-card input hopper through to a 100-card output hopper, keeping print runs moving without frequent reloading. Security is built in as standard, with an electronic lock, a Kensington lock and IPsec data encryption protecting both the printer and the cards it produces. That level of print detail and security is also why the XID8600 is used for higher-stakes applications like national ID and driver's licence programmes, not just staff and membership cards. Matica backs the XID8600 with a 36-month manufacturer warranty for the printer and a lifetime printhead warranty when used with EDIsecure® materials, making it a solid long-term choice for organisations that can't afford to compromise on card security.Features and Benefits Printing and encoding standard CR80 sized cardsEncoding Options: Smart card encoder (both contactless and contact chips) as well as magnetic stripe Easy to use and maintain Robust printer with metal chassis Excellent print quality High level card printer 600 dpi dye sublimation full colour printing Print on standard CR-80 sized cards (85.60 x 53.98 mm)Card thickness: 0.25–1.02mm (Hopper adjustment required) Can print double sided designs on one card Print up to 120 cards per hour (single-sided) 200 card input hopper and 100 card output hopper (using standard 0.76mm cards)  Can print on a wide range of card types such as: PVC, ABS, PET and Polycarbonate Cards that are CR-80 size (85.60 x 53.98 mm)Connect to ILM-LS or ILM-DS lamination modules for inline front/back lamination, adding security or abrasion protection A range of security features to ensure safetyWeight: 13.9kg / 30.6lbsDimensions: 343x322x360mm (WxDxH)36 month manufacture printer warranty Lifetime Printhead warranty as long as you use EDIsecure® materials (other conditions apply)Please note: The use of non-Matica ribbons could affect performance and void the warranty...

The Matica XID8300 (part number 37-1410) is a mid level retransfer card printer built for organisations that need photographic quality identity cards without moving up to a full industrial system. It uses over-the-edge retransfer technology to print sharp, edge-to-edge full colour images that cover the entire card surface, so there is no white border around the finished card. This printer suits busy environments such as event accreditation, education, corporate access and membership schemes where personalised passes, badges and secure ID need to be produced on demand. Because retransfer printing works on uneven surfaces, the XID8300 handles contact and contactless smart cards particularly well and holds its clarity even over embedded chips. The metal chassis makes the unit robust and dependable for daily use. Its modular design means you can start single sided then expand later, keeping the XID8300 relevant as your requirements grow.

It is available in single sided and double sided configurations, so choose double sided if you need to print information or security features on the reverse. To keep the lifetime printhead warranty in place you should run genuine EDIsecure ribbons and retransfer film. If you are unsure which consumables or configuration match your project, the Plastic ID team can help you specify the right setup. Frequently asked questions What is retransfer printing and why does it matter? Retransfer prints the image onto a clear film first then fuses that film to the card. This produces over-the-edge coverage with no white border and gives noticeably sharper results than direct-to-card printing, especially on smart cards with uneven surfaces. Can the XID8300 print double sided? Yes. The printer is offered in single sided and double sided versions and its modular design lets you add capability as your needs change. Which cards can I use? It accepts standard CR-80 sized cards (85.60 x 53.98 mm) in PVC, ABS, PET and polycarbonate. The 200 card input hopper and 100 card output hopper are rated for standard 0.76 mm cards. Does the printer come with a warranty? It carries a 24 month manufacturer warranty. The printhead is covered for its lifetime provided you use EDIsecure materials, subject to the manufacturer conditions...
