Prima 8 – Advanced Features for Secure Credential Personalization

Certified to FIPS 201 standards for the personalization of US Government credentials, the Prima 8 utilizes retransfer printing technology to swiftly produce high-quality photo cards in large quantities, rivaling offset litho printing.

High Volume Photo Quality

The Magicard Prima 8 offers a dependable and robust solution for instant issuance and lamination in a compact design. Employing a retransfer printing process, images are initially printed onto a thin film and then heat-transferred onto the card surface. This method results in a high-resolution glossy image that extends seamlessly over the card’s edge.

Enhanced Security

For the issuance of high-security cards, the Prima 8 supports the use of a specialized dye sublimation Ultra Violet (UV) ribbon. This ribbon enables the printing of invisible photographs, logos, text, or symbols. The UV ink remains undetectable to the naked eye but becomes visible under UV light, offering a cost-effective yet highly secure feature to mitigate counterfeiting risks.

Electronic Security

Equipped with various card encoding options, the Magicard Prima 8 can securely write electronic data onto cards during issuance. Smart card encoding capabilities include contact chip, MIFARE®, DESFire®, and iClass®. Additionally, specialized high-security encoders, such as EMV-accredited devices, can be integrated for the in-line personalization of payment cards. The Prima 8 also offers the option of a built-in magnetic stripe encoder.
