Magicard Prima Card Printer

The Magicard Prima prints on the reverse of a transparent PVC re-transfer film which is then laminated onto the face of a CR80 sized card made from PVC, PET, ABS or PVH

This process protects the image from the handling damage and produces a brilliant edge-to-edge image with superb registration and clarity.

Unique features:
- A very special and unique feature is the Prima In-Line Lamination program. These lamination modules allow for the lamination of either translucent holograms as well as rugged polyester patches on both, the front side and the back side of the card
- With this additional Laminating program, nearly all combinations of making a card secure and protected against physical impacts are possible
- All Prima overlamination modules are designed for inline operation and are prepared for combinations. As an option, an automatic card feeder module for stand-alone operation is available.
- An impressive selection of Prima Holographic lamination foils, holographic lamination foils incorporating COVID features, patch laminates in different thicknesses and clear overlays is available.
The Magicard Prima offers real edge-to-edge printing in exceptional print quality on front- and back side of the card body in full colour density (16,7 million colours). Due to the re-transfer technology, the Prima is perfect to print on pre-loaded cards, like contact- and contactless chip cards without any limitations at the card layout.

The Prima communicates through a fast SCSI 2 interface with the computer system. The SCSI 2 driver supports a high-secure firmware controlled password routine, plug-ins for inline chip encoding, special colour correction tables and user-configurable print job functions. This high performance driver supports up to 6 (six) printers simultanously connected to one computer system.

The card supply drawer holds up to 300 card in ISO thickness and can be reloaded during printer operation. Optional available is an additional card feeder drawer prepared for the use of thin (0,25 mm) card materials.
The print ribbon as well as the re-transfer film can easily be loaded via colour -coded cassettes and has a capacity of 1,000 prints each.

To further improve the scratch resistance of the card surface, the "Patch Re-Transfer Film" feature is available. These 0,15 mm patches are slightly smaller than the card, therefore edgeless printing is not possible. One roll of Patch Re-Transfer Film holds 500 patches.
