Why the Magicard 300 is the Smart Choice for Schools and Businesses
When it comes to printing high-quality ID cards in-house, schools and businesses need a solution that’s reliable, secure, and cost-effective. The Magicard 300 offers exactly that. Built for medium-volume card printing, it delivers vibrant, photo-quality results while being user-friendly and robust enough for daily use.
Whether you're issuing student IDs, staff badges, or visitor passes, the Magicard 300 provides everything you need in a compact, powerful printer.
What Makes the Magicard 300 Stand Out?
✅ High-Quality Printing
The Magicard 300 prints at 300×300 dpi, ensuring text is sharp and photographs are crisp. It uses dye-sublimation printing for full-colour images and monochrome resin for black-and-white prints. This makes it ideal for ID cards that need to display clear photos, logos, and barcodes.
✅ Fast and Efficient
With print speeds of up to 160 full-colour cards per hour (and 720 monochrome cards per hour), this printer keeps pace with demand. The 100-card input hopper and 70-card output stacker support batch printing, ideal for busy periods like term starts or onboarding new staff.
✅ Built-in Security Features
Security is a key concern for ID printing, and the Magicard 300 delivers:
- HoloKote® Watermarking – Adds a secure watermark to every card without additional costs or consumables.
- Digital Shredding™ – Automatically fragments and deletes data after each print job, helping with GDPR compliance and data protection.
✅ Flexible and Compatible
- Supports standard PVC cards (CR80/CR79, up to 50 mil thick)
- Compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux systems
- Connectivity via USB and Ethernet
- Optional upgrades for magnetic stripe and smart card encoding
✅ Eco-Friendly and Cost-Saving
The printer supports rewritable card technology, allowing you to reuse cards for temporary or frequently changing ID needs. This not only saves money but reduces plastic waste—a great fit for environmentally conscious organisations.
✅ Long-Term Reliability
The Magicard 300 is backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, including printhead cover and loaner printer support, offering peace of mind for organisations that rely on continuous ID issuance.
Use Cases: Who Benefits Most?
