Magicard 600 ID Card Printer Overview The Magicard 600 is a direct-to-card ID card printer built for organisations that run a continuous, high-volume card programme. It prints up to 190 full-colour cards per hour, carries built-in anti-fraud security as standard and is manufactured in the UK by Magicard, the only plastic card printer manufacturer based in Britain. If your organisation issues more than 10,000 cards a year, or runs a busy team that needs cards turned around quickly, this is the printer built for that workload. It is available in single-sided and dual-sided configurations, with optional encoding upgrades that can be added at any point.

Print quality and speed for a working card programme A full-colour card with a HoloKote® watermark takes around 19 seconds. At that pace, the Magicard 600 produces up to 190 cards per hour, enough to handle a large new-starter intake or a scheduled card renewal without the printer becoming a bottleneck. The colour resolution is 300 dpi, which gives you crisp photo IDs and solid branding. Switch to the 600 x 300 dpi resin-only mode and text stays readable down to 5-point type, so barcodes, micro-text and reference numbers come out cleanly even at very small sizes. For monochrome-only jobs, the 600 produces around 720 cards per hour. Single-sided or dual-sided The printer ships as single-sided, with dual-sided printing available as an upgrade. A dual-sided setup lets you put the cardholder's photo, name and role ..
