The Magicard Prima 802 Duo is a dual-sided retransfer ID card printer built for organisations that need consistently high-quality card output — the kind of printer you specify when edge-to-edge print quality and card longevity actually matter. Retransfer printing works by applying the image to a clear film first, then bonding it to the card surface, which means sharper results on smart cards and uneven surfaces, and a finished card that holds up far better to daily handling than direct-to-card alternatives.

Dual-sided printing means both faces of the card are handled in a single pass — useful when you're producing cards that carry a photo and name on the front, with access permissions, barcodes, or contact details on the reverse. That kind of throughput matters when you're issuing cards at volume across a workforce, campus, or multi-site operation.

As part of Magicard's Prima 8 range, the 802 Duo is designed for mid-to-high volume environments where print quality, card durability, and reliable operation are non-negotiable. If you're running an ID programme in healthcare, education, local government, or enterprise, this is the kind of hardware that earns its place in a print room.
