FAQ

Is the Magicard 300 Duo the right choice for schools and colleges?
Yes. Dual sided printing works well for education because you can keep the front clean (photo, name, logo) and use the back for rules, emergency information, barcodes or library details.

How does HoloKote® help protect our ID cards?
HoloKote® prints a secure watermark during card production, helping discourage copying and making genuine cards easier to recognise at a glance.

What do I need to start printing straight away?
You will need a compatible ribbon and blank CR80 cards. Many suppliers list the printer contents separately from consumables, so it is worth ordering the essentials at the same time.

How fast is it in real use?
Published specifications commonly cite full-colour single-sided printing in under ~23 seconds. Dual sided printing adds time, but avoids manual flipping, which often improves overall workflow and reduces handling errors.

Can we print QR codes and barcodes clearly?
Yes. The printer is designed for sharp text and machine-readable elements when you use suitable card stock and keep the printer maintained with routine cleaning.
