Additionally, every Prima 8 printer comes with a three-year warranty, lifetime printhead coverage.
- High-volume retransfer printing
Retransfer printing uses a two-step process that prints the image onto a thin film and then uses a heat transferring process to apply the image onto the surface of the card with over-the-edge printing. The added layer of film increases the durability of your ID cards and retains colors and quality much longer than a direct-to-card printer. Retransfer printing is also ideal for cards with uneven surfaces such as smart cards or cards with encoding.
With the Prima802 a dual-sided ID card only takes 36-seconds to print. With the ability to print up to 100 cards an hour, the Prima802 is one of the fastest retransfer printers on the market! - FIPS 201 certified
Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 201 - also known as FIPS 201 - is a certification used for the personalization of US government credentials. With this certification, the Magicard Prima 8 is listed on the GSA Approved Product List and meets the mandates for federal government use. FIPS 201 certified printers are an ideal ID card printer for federal government usage. - High Quality Images
Edge-to-edge printing and a 300-dpi resolution give your ID cards a photographic-quality - ideal for images, small text, and logos! Through the retransfer printing process, a high-resolution glossy image is applied directly onto your card for a high-quality look and added durability. - UV print compatibility
Ultraviolet (UV) compatibility is an affordable way to add additional security to your ID cards. With the Prima 8 dual-sided printer, the UV panel can be easily applied with the Prima834 UV ribbon and is an ideal ID card printer for businesses such as federal government applications. The UV image or text will appear red when a special light is directed onto the card and cannot be seen with the naked eye. Because of this, counterfeiting your ID cards becomes more difficult and making them more secure. - Standard UltraCoverPlus Warranty
Included with every Magicard Prima 8 badge printer is Magicard's UltraCoverPlus three-year warranty with a lifetime printhead replacement. - Card encoding - Optional
The Magicard Prima 8 dual-sided ID card printer is available with optional magnetic stripe, smart card and contactless encoding, allowing you to use your cards for more than just photo ID! (Add this feature to your printer in Options) - Lamination - Optional
The optional lamination unit allows you to increase card durability and security to your cards with holographic film or overlaminate patches. The Magicard Prima 8 in-line lamination unit offer front loading for convenience and ease-of-use. The Prima802 LCD display panel allows you to adjust temperature and speed settings to optimize results for various card types. (Add this feature to your printer within Options)
