Magicard Ultima

Offering reverse transfer printing with built-in visual security, the Magicard Ultima ID card printer is a powerful addition to the Magicard line of printers. With its quick print speeds, large 200-card hopper, high yield 1,000 print ribbons and an easy-to-use touch screen interface, this printer is ideal for large organisations looking for efficient card printing.

The key to the Magicard Ultima is the reverse transfer (also called retransfer) printing process. Unlike the standard dye sublimation process, your card design is first printed on a clear film and that film is then adhered to the card surface. This process gives you a higher definition print quality and allows you to print successfully even on smart cards with uneven surfaces. It also gives you additional card durability and tamper-resistance so the cards will last longer

Ultima enables you to print up to 100 high definition full colour cards per hour. The quality of print means staff can quickly and easily identify the facial features on ID cards for comparison against the holder. This makes it the ideal solution for drivers licences, national ID cards and other cards where security is paramount.

The Ultima retransfer printer comes with built-in visual security via the use of up to 10 secure HoloKote watermarks. That means that if you choose to do so, you can distinguish different departments with a separate holographic design. For additional built-in security, Ultima exploits the wavelengths of the dye-film so it can fluoresce under UV lighting.

High capacity consumables (1000 prints) and hoppers, combined with a range of encoding options to write secure electronic data to the card, make the Ultima ideal for high volume localised or centralised issuance of secure smart cards.

An intuitive touch screen with print preview and supplies indicator provides and easy to use interface on Magicard's most advanced and durable print engine. It features USB and Ethernet interfaces as standard and multiple encoding options.

To protect your investment and keep your ID card issuance running, the Ultima is covered by the industry leading MagiCoverPlus 3 Year warranty. This warranty includes a ''hot swap'' loan printer to keep you running whilst your printer is at the service centre.
