UPDATE- Magicard Helix sneak peak video and brochure available here
I was fortunate enough this spring to get an early look at the Magicard Helix card printer at the ISC West tradeshow. Many of the top dealers, including myself, were very impressed with the new retransfer card printer. Many actually came back into our booth and buzzing about it before I made my way over to take a look. While many of the current retransfer models out there are just rebranded OEM models, the Magicard Helix printer is a brand new design manufactured by Magicard. The Helix doesn’t fall short on new features either even though I only saw a handful of them. The Helix will feature field-upgradababilty to dual side (a rarity among retranfer printers), UV security features in the overlaminate, and the first ever visual security features within the overlay panel for a retranfer printer (commonly known as HoloKote in the DTC Magicard models.) I was told that the printer will likely launch with a 3 year warranty with loaner service as well. Will it become my go-to retransfer printer? I can’t wait to get my hands on it to find out. It is tentatively set to start shipping in the late half of the year.
