Why Choose the Magicard 600 Uno ID Card Printer?
The Magicard 600 Uno is built for organisations that print ID cards frequently and at scale. If speed, consistency, and security matter and you don’t want the cost or complexity of a retransfer printer the 600 Uno hits the sweet spot.
It’s designed to handle high daily print volumes without slowing down, making it ideal for busy environments where ID cards are part of day-to-day operations. With fast print speeds, reliable connectivity including Wi-Fi, and Magicard’s trusted built-in security features, it delivers professional results every time.
For teams upgrading from an entry-level or mid-range printer, the Magicard 600 Uno offers a noticeable step up in performance while remaining easy to use and straightforward to manage.
Key Printer Features
Why the Magicard 600 is leading the way for direct-to-card printers.
Fast Print Speeds
Designed for busy environments, the Magicard 600 prints full-colour cards in 19 seconds and monochrome cards in just 5 seconds, helping teams issue cards quickly and keep workflows moving.
Print Quality
Produces sharp text, clear photos, and consistent results across large print runs, making it ideal for organisations that need professional-looking ID cards at scale.
Secure Printing
Featuring Digital Shredding™ and up to 10 custom HoloKote® watermark designs, the Magicard 600 protects both card data and printed cards, helping reduce the risk of fraud and duplication.
Made in UK
Built using high-performance materials and advanced components, the Magicard 600 is designed and manufactured at Magicard’s headquarters in Dorset, United Kingdom.
Who Is the Magicard 600 Uno For?
The Magicard 600 Uno is best suited to organisations that issue ID cards regularly and need a printer that can keep up with demand without compromising on quality or security.
It’s a strong fit for:
- Businesses and corporate teams producing staff ID cards at scale
- Schools, colleges, and universities issuing student and staff cards throughout the year
- Membership organisations and associations with ongoing card requirements
- Secure sites and controlled environments where card authenticity and data protection matter
If you’re currently using an entry-level or mid-range printer and finding print speed, durability, or throughput limiting, the Magicard 600 Uno is a natural upgrade. It’s designed for teams printing 10,000+ cards per year who want fast, reliable results without stepping into the higher cost of retransfer printing.
If you regularly need information printed on both sides of the card, such as policies, barcodes, or emergency details, you may also want to consider the Magicard 600 Duo, which prints both sides automatically and can save time in high-throughput environments.
How Many Cards Can the Magicard 600 Print Per Year?
The Magicard 600 is designed for high-volume ID card printing and is best suited to organisations producing 10,000 cards per year or more.
It’s built to handle frequent, daily use without slowing down, making it ideal for busy environments where ID cards are issued regularly rather than occasionally. With fast print speeds and a robust internal build, the Magicard 600 can comfortably support large batch printing as part of ongoing operations.
If you expect your card requirements to grow over time, the Magicard 600 offers the capacity and reliability to scale with you without needing to upgrade to a retransfer printer.
Magicard 600 Uno vs Mid-Volume ID Card Printers
If you’re currently using a mid-volume ID card printer, the Magicard 600 Uno delivers a clear step up in speed, durability, and long-term reliability where it matters most.
Compared to mid-volume ID card printers, the Magicard 600 Uno offers:
- Higher throughput for organisations printing cards daily or in large batches
- Faster print speeds to reduce waiting times and bottlenecks
- Greater durability for sustained, high-demand use
- Improved consistency across large print runs
- Enhanced security features for organisations where data protection matters
Mid-volume printers are ideal for regular use up to a point, but as card demand increases, they can start to feel restrictive. The Magicard 600 Uno bridges that gap by providing a high-performance solution designed for scale without the added cost or complexity of retransfer printing.

Double-sided printing & compatibility
Key setup details to avoid surprises after ordering.
Can I print on both sides of a card with the Magicard 600 Uno?
Yes. The Magicard 600 Uno can print on both sides of a card, but this is done manually by flipping the card between prints. If you regularly print double-sided cards, the Magicard 600 Duo offers automatic double-sided printing.
What’s the difference between the Magicard 600 Uno and Duo?
The Magicard 600 Uno is a single-sided printer. Double-sided cards require manual flipping. The Magicard 600 Duo prints both sides automatically, saving time where back-of-card information is required.
Is the Magicard 600 Uno compatible with Mac?
Yes. The Magicard 600 can be supplied for both Windows and macOS users. If you are using a Mac, please let us know at the time of ordering so we can ensure the correct setup is supplied.
Can I print access control or smart cards?
The Magicard 600 is a direct-to-card printer. When printing on smart or access control cards, care should be taken to avoid printing over any raised chip area. If you need full coverage on chipped cards, a retransfer printer may be more suitable.
