Magicard Prima 802 DUO Retransfer ID Card Printer – Double-Sided

Magicard Prima 8 DUO – Retransfer printer for maximum quality and security

The Magicard Prima 802 DUO is an advanced retransfer ID card printer, designed for organizations that demand the highest possible print quality and security. It is often used in government agencies, large corporations and security-critical environments where card quality and protection are crucial.

Unlike traditional direct-to-card printers, the Prima 8 first prints the design onto a transfer film that is then applied to the card. This provides a full-coverage print across the entire card surface without white edges, as well as a more durable and professional finish.

Photo-quality edge-to-edge printing

The retransfer technology provides:

• Edge-to-edge printing
• Photo-like image quality
• Deeper colors and smoother surface
• Perfect results even on uneven boards

This makes Prima 8 ideal for ID cards where design and quality are crucial.

High security with UV and lamination

Magicard Prima 8 offers multiple layers of security:

• UV printing for hidden texts and logos
• Possibility of holographic laminates
• Inline safety features and post-processing
• Built-in logical printer locking

UV elements only become visible under UV light and are often used in security-grade cards.
