The Matica XID8300 is the kind of retransfer printer that makes you question why you'd ever settle for direct-to-card. Compact by retransfer standards — meaningfully smaller than most units in its class — it doesn't trade size for performance. At 120 cards per hour, it keeps pace with demanding production environments without occupying half your desk.

Retransfer printing means the image is applied to a clear film before bonding to the card surface, covering edge to edge. The result is sharper, more complete-looking cards compared to standard direct-to-card output — a difference that matters when the card is representing your organisation. The XID8300 supports this with a range of built-in security options: UV dye-sublimation for counterfeit detection, IPSEC for encrypted data transfer, and an optional Kensington lock for physical security of the unit itself.

This single-sided model includes the bend remedy module as standard — a useful detail that corrects the natural warping that can occur after the retransfer process, so cards come out flat and professional without extra handling. Manufacturer part number: DIH10450.
