Part number: Prima831
- All-in-One Print Solution – Includes a YMCK dye ribbon (Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black resin panels for full-color images and sharp text) plus a separate clear retransfer film roll. These two components, bundled in one kit, give you everything you need for true edge-to-edge ID card printing on Prima 8 printers.
- 1,000 Full-Color Prints – Each ribbon and film pair yields 1,000 single-sided, vibrant, full-color prints, meaning fewer consumable swaps, less downtime, and smoother medium- to high-volume card issuance.
- Professional Edge-to-Edge Quality – Retransfer printing first deposits your design onto the film’s underside, then heat-fuses it to the card. The result is glossy, over-the-edge images without white borders—every card looks polished and tamper-resistant.
- Enhanced Durability – The clear retransfer film seals and protects your printed image beneath it, guarding against scratches, fading, and daily wear—ideal for badges that see constant use.
- Perfect for Secure IDs – That extra film layer not only improves durability but also makes card tampering extremely difficult. For hidden security features, pair PRIMA 831 with the PRIMA 834 UV ribbon (sold separately) to embed markings that only appear under UV light.
- Only for Magicard Prima 8 Printers – PRIMA 831 is engineered specifically for Prima 8 Retransfer Uno, Duo, and 600 DPI Duo models. Attempting to install it in a direct-to-card printer will cause errors or poor print quality.
- Use Genuine Magicard Supplies – Always use original PRIMA 831 components to guarantee consistent print quality, protect your printer’s printhead, and maintain full warranty coverage.

How Retransfer Printing Technology Works
1. Image Creation
YMCK ribbon prints your design onto the underside of clear retransfer film
2. Heat Transfer
Film with printed image is heat-fused to the card surface
3. Glossy Protection
Image is sealed under a protective overlay, eliminating white borders
4. Tamper Evidence
Film seals the image making any alteration obvious and detectable
