The Evolis Agilia Simplex is a single-sided retransfer ID card printer built for organisations that need high-definition output without the overhead of an enterprise-level machine. Retransfer printing works by applying the image to a film first, then fusing it onto the card — which means full over-the-edge coverage, no white borders, and consistent results across virtually any CR80 card material, including cards that direct-to-card printers simply can't handle cleanly.

Print quality lands at 600 DPI, with colour profiling built in to keep output accurate and repeatable. The kind of printer you configure once and trust to deliver the same result on card 1 as on card 1,000. Whether you're working with standard PVC, composite cards, or more specialist substrates, the Agilia doesn't ask you to adjust your material choices to suit its limitations.

For Irish organisations issuing access cards, visitor passes, staff ID, or membership credentials, the Agilia Simplex sits at an interesting point in the market — retransfer quality at a cost per print that typically belongs to direct-to-card machines. If you've been holding off on retransfer because of the price, this is worth a closer look.
