Magicard Prima834 YMCK-UV Security Ribbon – 750-Print Yield, for Prima 8 Retransfer ID Card Printer

Description

The Ribbon That Protects Your Credentials

Create secure, professional-quality ID cards with the Magicard Prima834 YMCK-UV Ribbon—purpose-built for flawless performance with the Magicard Prima 8 retransfer printer.

Whether you're issuing government IDs, corporate badges, or access control cards, the Prima834 delivers vivid images, sharp text, and invisible UV security features to stop counterfeits in their tracks.

Important: The Prima834 ribbon cannot produce finished cards by itself. It must be used with the Magicard PRIMA436 Retransfer Film—a critical component that transfers your printed image onto the card’s surface. Without the PRIMA436 film, your print jobs cannot be completed. Be sure to order both to ensure uninterrupted printing.

Vivid Color Meets Covert Security

The Prima834 isn’t just for color printing—it’s your built-in anti-counterfeit solution. Alongside vibrant Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and crisp Black panels, the UV (fluorescent) panel prints hidden logos, text, or images visible only under UV light. This covert feature helps verify authenticity and protect your organization from unauthorized duplication.

High-Yield Printing for Maximum Productivity

Print up to 750 single-sided cards per ribbon—less downtime, more output, and fewer supply changes. Ideal for busy badge offices, event operations, and secure facilities.

Engineered for Magicard Prima 8 Retransfer Systems

The Prima834 is engineered exclusively for the Prima 8 printer, ensuring error-free printing, perfect alignment, and edge-to-edge results.

Pair it with the required PRIMA436 Retransfer Film for seamless, professional cards every time.

Protect Your Investment with Genuine Magicard Supplies

Using genuine Magicard consumables like the Prima834 helps prevent print errors, protects your thermal printhead, and maintains your printer’s warranty coverage. Don’t risk it with third-party supplies—get the quality you expect from the brand you trust.
