Choosing the Evolis Agilia retransfer printer

There is a point at which a direct-to-card printer stops being enough. The cards carry a contactless chip and the print skips over the bump. The design runs to the edge and a white border spoils it. The card is swiped forty times a day and wears through inside a year. The Evolis Agilia answers all three, because it is a retransfer printer: the image goes onto a clear film that is fused to the card, so the print is sealed beneath it.

In Ireland the Agilia turns up where cards are both valuable and long-lived: universities in Dublin and beyond, hospitals, semi-state bodies, access control installers and any organisation issuing a card that doubles as a security credential.

Agilia Simplex or Duplex: what to look for

  • Sides. The Agilia Simplex prints one face; the Agilia Duplex prints both in a single pass, which most access control and student cards need.
  • Two consumables. Budget for colour ribbon and retransfer film together and watch both counters.
  • Volume. A retransfer printer earns its price on regular, steady output. Be realistic about yours.

The Agilia Simplex single-sided is listed at €3,599 ex VAT; the Duplex dual-sided is priced on request by phone. Both dispatch from Dublin.

Consumables and the wider Evolis range

Ribbons and film for the whole brand are under Evolis ribbons; order both at once, since the printer stops when either runs out. Evolis also makes the Avansia, another retransfer model, and the rest of the line-up sits under Evolis printers. To compare across brands, browse all retransfer printers or, if you only need both faces printed and not edge-to-edge, the more affordable dual-sided printers. First-time buyers across Ireland may prefer an ID card printer bundle with cards and software included.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Evolis Agilia Simplex and Duplex?

Simplex prints one side, Duplex prints both in one pass. If your card has anything on the back, the Duplex saves flipping and re-feeding every card.

Why choose a retransfer printer over a direct-to-card Evolis printer?

For edge-to-edge print, for chip cards with uneven surfaces, and for durability. The image is sealed under film rather than sitting on the plastic.

Is the Agilia expensive to run?

It uses a colour ribbon plus retransfer film, so consumables cost more per card than direct-to-card. The trade-off is a card that lasts years instead of months.
