Evolis Agilia Retransfer Card Printer | 600dpi High-Definition ID Solution

Experience the "gold standard" of ID card production with the Evolis Agilia, a high-performance retransfer printer designed for organisations that refuse to compromise on quality. Engineered to produce stunning, over-the-edge results, the Agilia excels where standard printers fail—delivering vibrant, photographic-quality prints on a vast range of card materials including PVC, PET, ABS, and Polycarbonate.

By utilising retransfer technology, the Agilia prints your design onto a clear film which is then thermally bonded to the card. This ensures a flawless finish even on cards with irregular surfaces, such as those with embedded RFID chips or smart contact plates.

Evolis Agilia: The Professional Retransfer Printing Guide

The Evolis Agilia is the 2024/2025 successor to the Avansia, representing the pinnacle of high-definition card printing. Utilising Retransfer technology, it is designed for UK organisations that require "Over-the-Edge" precision and maximum card durability. Refer to the Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) below for the official UK specification:

• • MPN: AG1U0000BD-BS001: Known as the Agilia Standard. This model features double-sided printing as standard and is the definitive choice for high-security ID badges, financial cards, and government credentials.

Why choose Retransfer (Agilia) over Direct-to-Card?

• • True Over-the-Edge Printing: Standard printers leave a thin white border around the edge. The Agilia prints onto a transparent retransfer film which is then fused to the card, ensuring 100% coverage with no unprinted margins.

  • Uneven Surface Compatibility: Because the print head never touches the card directly, the Agilia can print perfectly onto "smart" cards with embedded chips or proximity antennas that would typically cause "ghosting" on cheaper printers.

  • 10-Year Printhead Warranty: The retransfer process protects the printhead from dust and debris on the card surface. As a result, the Agilia includes a Lifetime Warranty on the printhead, significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs for UK businesses.

  • Micro-Text & Security: With a 600 dpi resolution, it can produce microscopic text and complex guilloche patterns that are nearly impossible to counterfeit, making it the standard for high-security site access.

Application Logic:

• • High-Security Corporate IDs: Best for cards that require a professional, high-definition finish and integrated security features.

  • Technology & Access Cards: The go-to solution for printing on HID, MIFARE, and DESFire smart cards where surface irregularities are common.
