Magicard 300 ID Card Printer
Issue Striking ID Cards With Pride
The wide color spectrum that the Magicard 300 uses is paired with the ability to print at up to 300x300 dpi using YMCKO or YMCKOK dye films, making photo IDs crystal clear and keeping your corporate logo sharp. With the Magicard 300, you can be sure that what you see on your computer screen will be on your card.
Color dye sublimation, monochrome thermal printing, and rewritable technology print modes allow you to control your print process from the very beginning. Your ID cards will be unforgettable when printed on a Magicard 300.
Be Confident In Your Card Security
Like other Magicard printers, the Magicard 300 comes standard with their patented HoloKote technology, printing a secure watermark pattern on each and every card without requiring an additional laminate or ribbon. Choose from HoloKote's four standard watermark designs to give every card a visible, built-in layer of security — no laminate or extra ribbon required.
With HoloPatch cards, you can even enhance an area of the HoloKote watermark with a high visibility security seal. The Magicard 300 is also able to take advantage of magnetic stripe and smart card encoding. These advanced technologies let you pack even more data into your ID cards while also ensuring they’re impenetrable to counterfeiting.
New with the release of the Magicard 300 is a digital shredding feature, meaning that the data used for each print job is fragmented and dispersed. Developed in response to the growing worldwide demand for improved data security like the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union, Magicard’s digital shredding feature is the best way to keep your data safe. When your documents are sent to other ID card printers, they may be stored in the printer’s memory, leaving them vulnerable. With the digital shredding included in the Magicard 300, you won’t have to worry about your printer becoming a repository of sensitive information, because each document sent to the Magicard 300 is digitally shredded to ensure it won’t be stolen.
Fast Set-Up, And Fast Printing
The Magicard 300 is simple to set up: right out of the box, this printer will be ready to integrate with your existing network infrastructure with just a USB connection. Weighing in at just under 11 pounds, you won’t need to break a sweat setting up this printer. Once connected, you can take advantage of Magicard’s top of the line printing speeds: full-color single-sided cards in 23 seconds each, and monochrome single-sided cards in just 6 seconds. Bodno's ID card programs make it simple to connect your new printer and computer, so you can enjoy your new Magicard 300 printer without needing to call technical support.
Usable By Anyone, For Any Purpose
Made with high-performance purpose-built materials, the Magicard 300 is built for resilience, so you can trust any of your employees to operate it. Flexibility is key to Magicard printers, and the 300 is no different. Enjoy the freedom to use the 100-card feeder for high-volume printing or use the hand-feeder to print single cards or rewritable cards. Choose the double-sided Magicard 300 upgrade at purchase or upgrade it after your purchase when the need arises! The Magicard 300 is compatible with Windows 7 through Windows 11, Windows server 2008, 2012, and 2016, as well as Mac OS X 10.9.0 and newer. Even Linux users can enjoy the power of the Magicard 300 if their Linux includes CUPS support. Easy software updates and upgrade options allow the Magicard 300 to grow with your business, no matter what existing hardware or software you use.

Magicard 300 Vs. Magicard Enduro3E
The Magicard 300 and Magicard Enduro3E are in similar price ranges, so it’s not a surprise that many people would compare them to each other. The Enduro3E is also available as a single-side or dual sided printer, and they both use dye sublimation printing. Despite their similar price points and features, they have a few key differences.
