Common Questions
What is retransfer printing and why is it used with this ribbon?
Retransfer printing involves printing an image onto a retransfer film first, and then laminating that film onto the card. This method provides more durable, vibrant, and true edge-to-edge prints compared to direct-to-card printing, which is essential for high-quality and secure ID cards.
What is the Magicard Prima834 ribbon used for?
The Prima834 is a high-yield color ribbon with Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, Black, and UV panels, designed to print full-color cards with hidden security features visible only under UV light for anti-counterfeiting protection.
How many prints can I get from a single Prima834 ribbon?
Each Prima834 ribbon yields approximately 750 single-sided cards, making it ideal for high-volume secure card production.
Is Specialist ID an authorized Magicard dealer?
Yes, Specialist ID is an authorized Magicard dealer with direct access to genuine Magicard ribbons and consumables. We stock fresh inventory, provide expert technical support, and maintain strong relationships with Magicard to ensure you receive authentic consumables with full manufacturer backing and warranty protection.
Can I use the Prima834 with any printer?
No. The Prima834 is designed exclusively for the Magicard Prima 8 Retransfer ID Card Printer. It will not work with other Magicard models or direct-to-card systems.
Do I need anything else to print cards with the Prima834?
Yes. The Prima834 ribbon must be used with the PRIMA436 Retransfer Film, which transfers your printed image onto the card surface. Without the PRIMA436 film, you cannot produce finished cards. Be sure to order both components.
What types of cards can I print with the Prima834 and Prima 8 system?
You can print on standard CR80 PVC cards, PET composite cards, and most technology cards, including smart cards and proximity cards. The retransfer process works effectively on uneven card surfaces.
How long will the Prima834 ribbon last in storage?
Stored in a cool, dry place, the Prima834 ribbon has a shelf life of up to one year. Proper storage maintains print quality and prevents ribbon performance issues.
Why should I use 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. Third-party supplies can cause poor results, ribbon jams, and costly repairs that void manufacturer protection.
