Description
Everything You Need to Print Over the Edge, Full-Color ID Cards in One Complete Kit
With both the YMCK ribbon and retransfer film included, this kit ensures crisp, durable output on every card—whether you're printing employee IDs for a corporate office, secure credentials for a federal agency, or access badges for a high-traffic university. It's built for operations that need precision, reliability, and vibrant results without compromise.
Full-Color Brilliance + Sharp Monochrome
This YMCK ribbon uses Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black panels to produce rich, photo-like images and razor-sharp text or barcodes. It delivers 1,000 single-sided prints at 300 DPI, making it ideal for organizations that care about detail, clarity, and professional presentation—without frequent ribbon changes.
Retransfer Printing = Real Edge-to-Edge Results
Unlike direct-to-card methods, the Prima431 supports reverse-transfer printing: your image is printed onto a clear film, then fused to the card. This eliminates the white border seen on most cards and ensures every edge looks clean, polished, and secure. It's also safer for your printer’s printhead—especially when printing on smart cards or proximity cards with embedded tech.
Security and Performance Where It Counts
Trusted by hospitals, government agencies, and enterprise-level security teams, the Prima431 helps you create IDs that stand up to daily use and visual inspection. From government credentials to campus access badges, this system delivers results you can count on—even in high-security, high-volume environments.
Pro Tip: Always pair with genuine Magicard retransfer film (included here) to protect your investment and avoid print errors.
