Single Sided Printers

A single sided ID card printer prints onto one face of a plastic card, covering most ID work: staff passes, membership cards, visitor badges and access credentials. Plastic ID stocks direct-to-card models alongside retransfer machines such as the Matica XID8300, Evolis Agilia, Magicard Ultima and FARGO HDP6600.

Almost every card here is CR80, the credit card size at 85.6 x 54mm, so it fits standard wallets, holders and clip-on badge fittings. Resolution is 300 x 300 dpi across the direct-to-card models. The retransfer machines print edge to edge, including over embedded chips.

The IDP Smart 21S at GBP 530, the Evolis Zenius at GBP 645, the IDP Smart 31 and the Magicard Pronto suit smaller offices and clubs printing modest volumes. The Magicard 300, Matica MC310, FARGO DTC1250e and Evolis Primacy 2 step up for busier sites. Heavier-duty and security work goes to the FARGO DTC4250e and DTC4500e, the IDP Smart 51 Secure GDPR model, the Magicard 600 and the Zebra ZXP Series 7 (Z72-000C0000EM00).

For encoding work, the Evolis Zenius comes with contactless encoding or a contact smart GEM PC reader. We will confirm compatibility with your specific reader technology before you commit.

If the back of your cards needs printing too, compare our dual sided ID card printers. For a short-term need, see ID card printer rental.

Bundles including the FARGO C50, Evolis Zenius Go, Zenius ECO and Primacy 2 Go save you sourcing ribbons and cards separately. The Edikio Access (EA2U0000BS-BS001) and Edikio Flex (EF1H0000XS-BS002) bundles handle price-tag and shelf-label printing. Accessories include the Evolis S10212 lamination module and the S10388 200-card input hopper. If you cannot see what you need, get in touch and we will source it.

IDP Smart 21S ID Card Printer Overview The IDP Smart 21S is a compact, entry-level printer built for small organisations, schools and clubs that want to print ID cards in-house without a big upfront cost. It offers single sided card printing in 24 seconds for full colour and just 6 seconds for monochrome.Compatible ribbons: IDP Smart 21 ribbons. How It Prints The Smart 21S uses direct-to-card printing. Direct-to-card printing works by pressing the printer ribbon directly against the surface of the card as it passes under the printhead, transferring colour or black text straight onto the card in a single pass. It's the same principle as a thermal transfer label printer, just applied to a plastic card instead of paper. Because the printhead sits right against the card, it's fast and inexpensive per card. The Smart-21 feeds one PVC card at a time, fed in by hand, so it suits steady, on-demand printing rather than large unattended batches. It prints up to 150 full-colour cards an hour or 600 in monochrome, at up to 1200 dpi, which is sharp enough for photo IDs, logos and small text without looking soft or pixelated. SmartMark comes as standard with most IDP printers. This is a visible security overlay that can be customised with your own text, logo or design, making a card harder to convincingly copy or tamper with. An optional Kensington lock can also add physical security if the printer's sitting somewhere accessible rather than in a locked office. Is This the Right Printer for You? This printer doesn't encode cards and it's not suited to access control cards with an embedded chip, the chip can damage the printhead over time. If you need to encode magnetic stripe or contactless cards for door access, look at the IDP Smart 31 instead. If you're printing straightforward photo ID, membership or visitor cards without encoding, the IDP Smart ID card printer range is an excellent choice. It's one of the easiest-to-use card printers on the market and makes printing staff ID cards a really straightforward process. Software and Compatibility A free copy of EasyBadge Lite card design software comes included with this printer, which is Windows-only, as is the ID printer itself. Please note: ribbons and blank cards aren't included with this printer. Add compatible consumables to your order so you're ready to print as soon as it arrives. Key Features: Direct-to-card, single-sided printing Hand-fed card feeder Print speeds up to 150 full-colour cards/hour, 600 monochrome cards/hour Resolution up to 1200dpi SmartMark visible security overlay, customisable, included as standard Optional Kensington lock Dimensions: approx. 179mm x 169mm x 259mm Weight: 2.7kg 2-year manufacturer warranty (3-year optional extension available; printhead covered for 3 years) Includes EasyBadge Lite design software (Windows only, 100 record limit) Compatible with Windows only What's Included: ..

Magicard 600 ID Card Printer Overview The Magicard 600 is built for organisations printing ID cards regularly and at real volume. With up to 190 full-colour cards an hour, a single card with HoloKote prints in under 20 seconds, without the cost of an enterprise-grade system.Compatible ribbons: Magicard 600 ribbons. This is one of the latest Magicard printers and it's built on the high quality legacy that the range has offered for decades. From its headquarters in Weymouth, Magicard has developed some of the best plastic card printers in the world. Print Quality and Speed At 600 x 300 dpi, the Magicard 600 renders even small text and fine detail legibly and its wide colour spectrum gives a truer representation of photos and logos rather than flattened, over-saturated colour. Compared to the Magicard 300, the 600 prints faster and at a higher quality. Full colour cards print at up to 190 cards an hour and monochrome up to 750. The 100-card input hopper means you're not stopping to reload every few minutes on a longer batch, either. Magicard 600 or Magicard 600 Duo? The Magicard 600 is available as a single-sided printer or as the Magicard 600 Duo, upgraded for double-sided printing as standard. If your cards only need a photo and name on the front, the standard 600 covers it. If you need information on both sides, terms and conditions, a barcode or a second language, for example, the 600 Duo prints both in the same pass rather than needing the card flipped and run through twice. Both share the same print engine, speed and security features. Security Built In as Standard Digital shredding fragments print data after each job, so the printer itself can't be used to recover what's been printed or access cardholder information. Beyond that, the Magicard 600 is threat-benchmarked; its software and system configuration are run against Nessus Pro, a widely used vulnerability assessment tool, which is the same standard of scrutiny you'd expect across the rest of your IT estate. HoloKote watermarking is standard too and pairing it with HoloPatch cards highlights one section of the watermark as a reflective, high-visibility seal, which makes your cards harder to replicate convincingly. Connectivity and Compatibility USB, Ethernet and WiFi (802.11b/g/n via the supplied dongle, with WPA or WPA2 encryption) all come as standard, so the 600 fits onto a network out of the box with minimal setup. It's compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 (32 and 64-bit), Windows Server 2008, 2012 and 2016, Mac OS and Linux with CUPS support, so it isn't locked to one type of office setup. Built in the UK Every Magicard 600 is designed and manufactured in Weymouth, UK, by Magicard by Brady. It's backed by a 3-year MagiCover Plus warranty, covering printhead replacement and a loan printer swap if yours needs repair, so a fault doesn't mean going without a working printer.

IDP Smart-31 ID Card Printer Overview The IDP Smart 31 is a straightforward, entry-level card printer built for small businesses, schools, and organisations printing less than 100 high-quality ID cards at a time. How It Prints The Smart 31 uses IDP's FINE™ imaging technology to produce full-colour or monochrome cards with sharp detail at up to 156 full-colour cards an hour. It's built for standard photo ID: staff badges, membership cards and visitor passes, printed directly onto the card surface. A small, deliberate border stays around the edge of every card too, protecting the printhead so print quality stays sharp and consistent, card after card. With the right card design, this border is barely noticeable, and at a 300 dpi minimum, your cards look great fresh off the printer and for years afterwards. Please note: The Smart 31 can take optional magnetic stripe, contact and contactless encoding modules, so it can encode access control cards. As a direct-to-card printer it prints best on flat cards: the chip or aerial inside an access control card can leave small blemishes as the card passes the printhead. If you need edge-to-edge print on chip cards, a retransfer printer gives a cleaner finish. Choosing the Right Variant The Smart 31 comes in three configurations. The 31S is single-sided, the standard starting point for most organisations. The 31D adds double-sided printing if you need information on both sides of the card. The 31R is a rewritable, monochrome-only version: instead of using a ribbon, it wipes and reprints the same card up to 500 times, which is a useful option for temporary passes or visitor badges that change constantly, since it removes the ongoing ribbon cost entirely. Security That Punches Above Its Price PC authentication locks the printer to a specific machine, so it's no use to anyone if it's stolen, and USB data is encrypted as standard. UV ink printing adds an image or text only visible under UV light, and a customisable SmartMark watermark, using your own text, image, or logo, sits under a transparent overlay for an extra visible layer of security. With all of the built-in security, cloning a Smart 31 card convincingly is genuinely difficult. Software and Compatibility A free copy of EasyBadge Lite comes included, limited to 100 records and Windows only. If you need Mac compatibility or a higher record limit, cardPresso is the better fit and is sold separately. The printer itself connects over USB as standard, with Ethernet available as an upgrade, and it's compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10, Mac OS, and Linux. Please note: ribbon and blank cards aren't included with this printer. Add compatible consumables to your order so you're ready to print as soon as it arrives.

Evolis Primacy 2 ID Card Printer Overview The Evolis Primacy 2 is built for organisations issuing ID cards at medium to large volumes. It combines speed and quality with a level of security flexibility that most printers at this tier don't offer as standard. How It Prints The Primacy 2 uses dye-sublimation for full-colour cards and thermal transfer for monochrome, printing edge-to-edge on single or dual-sided cards. Rewrite technology comes as standard, letting you print, erase, and reprint the same card in seconds, which is a useful cost saver for visitor badges, student cards, and anything else that gets updated regularly rather than issued once. With 300 x 600 dpi in full colour and 300 x 1200 dpi in monochrome, the Primacy 2 offers some of the highest-quality ID cards on the market. Speed and Capacity Single-sided, it prints up to 280 cards per hour. The dual-sided version manages up to 170 cards an hour, printing both sides in the same pass. A 100-card feeder comes as standard, with a 200-card feeder available as an upgrade if your volume grows. High-resolution printing mode, paired with Evolis's colorimetric profile, keeps colour output close to true-to-life rather than flattened or oversaturated. Built to Grow With Your Organisation Double-sided printing, the 200-card feeder, encoders, a lamination module, and an LCD screen can all be added later rather than needing to be decided at the point of purchase, and every one of these upgrades installs on-site without needing a specialist visit. So the Primacy 2 is a long-term investment as you can buy for what you need today, and add capability as your requirements change. Security, Chosen to Match Your Requirements The Evolis Primacy 2 card printer is packed full of security features to keep the data and sensitive information you pass through it safe from prying eyes. Kineclipse® masks sensitive data on the ribbon after printing, so nothing readable remains once a job's finished, and digital erasing clears the same data from the printer's own memory automatically. A mechanical key lock protects the inside of the printer, so consumables and any fitted encoders can't be accessed or stolen without it. For cards that need to resist wear and fraud, a YMCKOO ribbon adds a double overlay layer, giving three times the abrasion resistance of a card printed with a standard YMCKO ribbon, and a UV effect can be added via that same ribbon or through the optional lamination module for an extra visible security layer. Encoding Options Magnetic stripe, contact smart card, and contactless encoding are all available, including specific encoder options like Evolis Elyctis Dual and OMNIKEY 5122, so the Primacy 2 can be configured to match whatever access control or ID system your organisation already runs, chosen at purchase or added later. Connectivity, Compatibility, and Everyday Use USB and Ethernet come as standard, with WiFi available as an option, a..

Magicard Pronto ID Card Printer Overview The Magicard Pronto is a compact, hand-fed printer built for small businesses and beginners printing ID cards in low volumes. Card printing with this machine is straightforward enough to set up and run without any specialist training and the free card design software doesn't require a degree in Photoshop to get started.Compatible ribbons: Magicard Pronto ribbons, part of our full range of Magicard printer ribbons. How It Prints The Pronto is a single-sided card printer. It prints a monochrome card in 7 seconds or a full-colour card in 35 seconds. It's direct-to-card print technology allows for edge-to-edge printing on standard PVC CR80 and CR79 cards. It's rewritable too: print the front in full colour, then wipe and reprint the back in monochrome up to 500 times. For visitor passes or temporary badges that change on a daily basis, this is a huge cost saving. Security as Standard Holokote®, Magicard's watermarking technology, comes included with four predefined watermark designs, selectable directly from the printer driver, so every card can carry a visual security watermark at no extra cost. Pair it with HoloPatch cards (which include a highly reflective gold seal that's difficult to replicate convincingly) for an additional layer of security. Software and Compatibility A free copy of EasyBadge Lite comes included, limited to 100 records and Windows only. It connects over USB and runs on Windows 8 and 10 (32 and 64-bit), Windows Server 2012 and 2016, Mac OS 10.9 and above and Linux with CUPS support. Every Pronto is designed and manufactured at Magicard Printers headquarters in Weymouth, UK. Is This the Right ID Card Printer for You? The Pronto handles standard photo ID, membership and visitor cards well. As a direct-to-card printer, it's not the right choice for access control cards with an embedded chip, printing over a raised chip can cause blemishes and force a reissue. For that, the Magicard Ultima retransfer printer is the better fit. But for simple ID cards this is an excellent option. It's easy to use, straightforward to maintain and produces high-quality cards that look great for years. Please note: this printer is supplied without ribbon or blank cards. Add compatible consumables to your order before checking out.

IDP Smart-51S Single-Sided ID Card Printer Overview The IDP Smart-51S is a mid-range, single-sided direct-to-card printer built for organisations that issue ID cards regularly and need reliable output without constant operator attention. It suits HR teams, membership clubs, schools, and anyone running a medium-volume card production programme. Print quality and speed that keep pace with your workload The Smart-51S uses dye-sublimation with IDP's Enhanced FINE™ Imaging Technology to produce full-colour photo ID cards at 300 dpi, edge to edge across the full CR80 card face. Monochrome resolution steps up to 600 or 1200 dpi for text, barcodes, and line detail that reads cleanly under a scanner. Speed is where the Smart 51 stands apart from lighter-duty card printers. Full-colour YMCKO cards print at up to 212 cards per hour. Switch to a monochrome ribbon and that rises to 720 cards per hour. That throughput is useful when you need to issue a large run of single-colour access control badges or membership cards quickly. Every card comes out dry and ready to hand over; there is no waiting for inks to cure. The input hopper holds 100 cards with the lid closed and opens to 200, so a sizeable batch runs unattended. The 40-card removable front output hopper keeps finished cards organised, and individual cards can be hand-fed when you only need one or two. Upgrade options and encoding The Smart-51S ships as a single-sided, USB-connected printer. Optional upgrades are all field-installable, so you can add capability as your programme grows rather than buying a new printer. Dual-sided printing. A flipper module converts the 51S to the 51D, printing colour on the front and black on the back in a single pass. If cards also need lamination for daily handling, the IDP Smart 51L is available separately as a ready-configured dual-sided model with the lamination module installed. Ethernet. USB is standard. Ethernet connects the printer to a shared network so multiple users can send jobs without physically accessing the machine. Encoding. Magnetic stripe encoding writes to ISO 7811 tracks for door access and time-and-attendance systems. Contactless smart card encoding covers MIFARE and other ISO 14443 formats for proximity access control cards and contactless passes. Security printing. The SmartMark feature prints a custom visible watermark, which can be text, a logo, or an image of your choice, into the overlay panel at no extra ribbon cost. UV printing adds a covert image to the card that only appears under ultraviolet light. Either feature on its own deters casual copying; both together make a card significantly harder to clone. Please note: This printer is not currently compatible with Windows 11. It supports Windows 7, 8, and 10, plus macOS and Linux.

Evolis Agilia Retransfer ID Card Printer Overview The Evolis Agilia is a high-performance retransfer ID card printer built for organisations that need production-grade print quality, a range of card types, and the flexibility to add encoding and security features as their needs grow. It is available in single-sided (simplex) and dual-sided configurations. What retransfer technology means for your cards With a direct-to-card printer, the print head touches the card surface directly, which limits both quality and the range of cards you can use. The Agilia works differently. It prints first onto a clear retransfer film, then thermally bonds that film to the card. The result is true edge-to-edge coverage with no white border at the card edge, and the 600 dpi print head renders fine details with genuine sharpness: microtext, guilloches and high-definition QR codes all come out crisp and clean. Because the film conforms to the card surface, the Agilia handles cards that would be problematic for direct-to-card printers: PVC, composite PVC, PET, ABS and PC cards all produce the same clean finish, including chip cards and cards with surface irregularities. Card thickness can range from 30 to 50 mil. Colour profiling is built in, so the printer adjusts output to maintain consistent colour across a run, not just across a single card. Print speed, card handling and throughput Single-sided colour printing (YMCK) runs at up to 150 cards per hour; dual-sided (YMCKK) runs at up to 100 cards per hour. A 200-card input feeder and 100-card output hopper mean the Agilia can handle batch jobs without constant reloading, and a 10-card reject hopper keeps the output tray clear of cards that didn't pass inspection. For on-demand issuance, there is also a manual single-card feed option. Ribbons are automatically recognised as soon as they are inserted, so there is no manual configuration when you change consumables. The YMCK ribbon (RT4F101E100) gives 600 colour prints per roll; the dual-sided YMCKK ribbon (RT5F102E100) also yields 600 prints. The retransfer film (RTCL100NAAA) delivers 1,200 prints per roll. You can order all Agilia consumables directly from the Evolis Agilia ribbons page. Encoding, security and upgradeability The Agilia ships as a print-only unit and can be expanded at any point with factory-fit or field-installed options. Encoding choices include a magnetic stripe encoder (ISO 7811, HiCo/LoCo 3-track), a contact smart card encoder, and a dual contactless encoder covering ISO 14443 A/B, ISO 15693, MIFARE and DESFire, making it a practical choice for printing and encoding access control cards in a single pass. Security features go beyond the card itself. Advanced print elements include UV printing (using the YMCFK ribbon), microtext and guilloche patterns that are difficult to copy. Sensitive data can be erased from the printer's memory after each run. An optional electromechanical lock restricts physical access to the card feeder and rib..

Matica XID8600 Retransfer ID Card Printer Overview The XID8600 is a 600dpi dual-sided retransfer printer that prints clean, edge-to-edge colour on every card material from standard PVC to polycarbonate. It holds microtext down to 1.3pt on the finished card, sharp enough to carry visual security elements. Organisations printing in the tens of thousands per year, including councils, universities, security contractors, government departments and healthcare trusts, use the XID8600 where card quality and built-in security both have to be right.

The image is printed onto a clear film first, and that film is then thermally fused to the card surface. The result is true over-the-edge coverage with no white border, and a surface that is more resistant to wear and UV fade than a direct-to-card print. At 600dpi, the XID8600’s printhead can hold text as small as 1.3pt on the finished card. That matters because fine security detail, such as microtext, guilloche patterns and UV-reactive elements, has to be at a resolution where it reads correctly under magnification and is difficult to reproduce by copying. The 600dpi resolution is also why the XID8600 is used in national ID and driver’s licence programmes, where the card itself is a security document. Contact chips and contactless antennas create a raised or uneven card surface. A direct-to-card printhead can produce an uneven result over the chip area; retransfer covers it cleanly, so the XID8600 prints consistently regardless of what is embedded in the card. Security features and encoding options Built-in printer security: The XID8600 has a Kensington lock slot, an electronic lock and IPsec-encrypted data transfer as standard. Together, th..

FARGO DTC4250e ID Card Printer Overview The FARGO® DTC4250e is a direct-to-card ID card printer built for medium-volume card programmes in businesses, schools and local government where a single desktop unit needs to handle both full-colour photo ID and optional technology card encoding. It suits operations that issue employee badges, student cards, membership credentials and access control cards regularly enough to need a dependable workhorse, but not in the kind of volume that demands industrial equipment. What sets the DTC4250e apart within the HID FARGO range is its modular design: encoding capability, dual-sided printing and an expanded input hopper can all be added in the field as your programme grows, so you’re not locked into a fixed specification from day one.

For operations that produce employee badges or student cards in batches, that translates to roughly 225 cards per hour. Monochrome runs are considerably faster at 6 seconds per card, which suits visitor passes, membership cards and any job where a single-colour design gets the work done. Print resolution sits at 300 dpi with continuous tone output, so photos, logos and barcode graphics all come out cleanly at card size. The Color Assist tool inside FARGO Workbench handles spot-colour matching, which is useful when a company logo needs to print accurately against a specific brand colour...

Brand: Matica Model: 37-1410
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.Ribbons and films for the XID8300 are listed under Matica printer ribbons. 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.
