Choosing a Magicard Pronto ID card printer
The Pronto is the Magicard for organisations that need ID cards without needing a card office: a GAA club with 200 members, a Dublin creche printing staff badges twice a year, a small hotel issuing name badges to new starters. Both printers on this page, the original Magicard Pronto and the newer Pronto100, are single-sided machines, and both are the kind of printer you can unbox, plug in and be printing from within the hour.
Single-sided is the point to think about. The Pronto prints the front of the card only, so if you want text on the reverse you either feed the card a second time or you look at a dual-sided model further up the Magicard range. For a photo, a name and a logo, which is what most Irish clubs and small firms actually print, single-sided is exactly enough. Pricing for both is on request by phone.
Pronto or Pronto100: what to look for
The sensible way to pick between them is by consumables rather than by brochure. The Pronto100 is the current model and takes its own ribbon family; the original Pronto has its own ribbons too, still stocked, so an existing machine is not stranded. Think about volume honestly: 150 cards a year is a different job to 150 a month, and the Pronto is happiest at the lower end, printing in batches rather than all day. If you are buying new, the Pronto100 is the one to look at first.
Ribbons, cards and cleaning for the Pronto
Keep the right consumables to hand: Magicard Pronto ribbons for the original and Pronto100 ribbons for the newer printer, with blank white cards underneath. If you want to compare against the rest of the Magicard printer range or the wider single-sided printers category, both are a click away. Stock ships from Dublin.
