What customers say about our support...

The response was much faster this time and got it fixed within 1 1/2 weeks! They fixed the problem and answered the questions I had! Also, great that there was a warranty to help with the price!

Printer model: Enduro3e

Support were very helpful but sadly we didn't manage to get the 2010 machine working again and I had to buy a new machine.

Printer model: Pronto

Great Job! I was impressed that the printer problems were fixed quickly and returned to me and packaged properly so it was returned to me in great condition, and nothing broke. Nice job! Thanks for your good service!

Printer model: Rio Pro

This is my 1st interaction w/MagiCard Service, they responded immediately, resolved the issue and stood behind their warranty.

Printer model: Magicard 600

Customer service were very patient and helpful when communicating with me to figure out the problem with the machine! Thank you for the repair, printer works again! It did take a little longer than expected to get it back, about three weeks instead of two.

Printer model: Enduro3e
