Professional-grade security in your hands—print vibrant, edge-to-edge cards that resist daily wear plus add a covert UV layer for instant authentication. Superior UV panel construction ensures hidden security elements stay intact even in the busiest, most demanding environments.

Why Professional Security Printing Makes Sense

  • Photo-quality output with built-in security — YMCK panels deliver vibrant colors and razor-sharp text while the UV panel adds invisible security elements that appear only under UV light for instant authentication
  • Superior UV panel construction — Enhanced UV panel ensures hidden security elements stay intact even in the busiest, most demanding environments with daily card handling
  • Covert security with zero extra steps — Invisible UV markings are applied during normal printing—simply scan cards in normal light, then verify hidden features with a handheld UV light
  • High-yield efficiency for busy programs — 750 single-sided prints minimize ribbon changes and keep your workflow on track, perfect for organizations with substantial card issuance needs
  • Edge-to-edge professional finish — Retransfer technology delivers superior card coverage and durability compared to direct-to-card printing, with no white borders or unprinted edges
  • Requires retransfer film for complete printing — Works exclusively with Prima436 retransfer film (sold separately) to heat-seal images onto PVC cards for professional, tamper-resistant results

  • Magicard Prima 4 Series Only — Exclusively compatible with Magicard Prima 4 Series (Uno & Duo) retransfer printers—will not function in direct-to-card or older models
  • Prima436 Retransfer Film Required — Mandatory retransfer film transfers your printed image onto the card surface for professional, edge-to-edge finish
  • Two-Step Retransfer Process — First prints onto retransfer film, then heat-seals that image onto PVC card for superior durability and coverage
  • Composite PVC Cards Required — Heat-resistant composite cards prevent warping during high-temperature retransfer process, ensuring consistent results

  • High-Security Applications — Perfect for access control at high-security sites, government facilities, healthcare institutions, and secure event entrances
  • Professional Storage Required — Keep ribbons in original packaging, away from sunlight and humidity, rotate stock FIFO for optimal performance

3. Film Transfer Process Retransfer film with printed image and UV elements heat-seals onto PVC card for edge-to-edge coverage
4. Authentication Ready Completed cards appear normal under regular light but reveal security features when scanned with UV lamp

Common Questions

The Prima434 YMCK-UV Ribbon is a five-panel dye-film roll made specifically for the Magicard Prima 4 retransfer printer. Each roll prints up to 750 single-sided cards (or 375 full dual-sided IDs) and embeds invisible UV markings to boost security. Yes. Specialist ID is an authorized Magicard dealer, so we guarantee every ribbon you order is 100% genuine, fresh, and properly stored. With over 34,000 five-star reviews, our customers trust us for fast shipping, expert support, and hassle-free returns. Yes. Retransfer printing always involves two steps: first, the Prima434 ribbon prints your image onto the Magicard PRIMA436 Retransfer Film (sold separately). Then, the film heat-seals that image onto the PVC card, giving you an edge-to-edge, printer-friendly finish. Without the PRIMA436 film, your cards will never fully form. One Magicard Prima434 roll delivers up to 750 single-sided cards. If you print full-color plus UV on the front, you'll use the UV panel. Then, if you add black text or a barcode on the back (using the same K panel), you'll end up with 375 complete dual-sided IDs per roll. After printing, simply shine a handheld UV lamp (black light) over the card. Any invisible UV markings—like hidden text, logos, or barcodes—will glow, instantly confirming authenticity. There's no extra inks or chemicals needed. The Magicard Prima434 is compatible only with the Magicard Prima 4 Series (both Uno and Duo models). It will not function in any direct-to-card printers or older non-retransfer Magicard models. When kept in its original sealed packaging—in a cool (50–70°F), dry (under 50% humidity) spot away from direct sunlight—a Prima434 ribbon will stay fresh for up to one year. Beyond that, you risk faded prints, ribbon breakage, and wasted supplies, so always rotate stock FIFO (first-in, first-out). Yes, however, the yield will drop from 750 to 375 cards because dual-sided printing uses a complete set of panels for each side—whether you print full color or black-only on the back. For high-volume operations printing static information on card backs (logos, terms, disclaimers), consider pre-printed cards to avoid wasting expensive ribbon panels. If you don't need the UV panel, the Magicard Prima433 YMCKK Ribbon is more economical for dual-sided printing.
