The video below shows the Magicard 600 printhead replacement but the process is similar for all Magicard direct-to-card printers, both 1st and 2nd generation.

See our YouTube channel for your specific printer videos

 

Note:  Your new replacement printhead may be a new updated type.

If your old head did not have this connector below and the new one has it then dont’t worry, you can ignore this connector:

printhead update connector

The printhead simply had an update to allow use across model ranges with the addition of this connector.

A later update was to the heatsink within the Thermal Print Head assembly to remove the coloured anodising:

What customers say about our support...

It was strange what my problem was but support was quick to isolate it with a few pics sent to them. Very happy with the support.

Printer model: Magicard 600

Thank you so much! The ID printer is working great and we really appreciate the honesty of your technicians! We could have easily been billed for repairs that weren't done, as our printer is no longer under warranty, but you didn\'t charge us at all. The technician superstar told me that it was a simple loose wire, which he reattached, and they shipped it back at no charge. Thank you!

Printer model: Pronto

4 stars were given because the printer was literally bought a month and a half ago and instead of just swapping it out with a new one, we had to go through the manufacturers warranty process. I will say, from the time I shipped it out to the time I got it back was great. Hardly any time passed.

We ended up not getting the piece repaired due to the cost but support was great about getting back to me which I appreciate.

Printer model: Prima 4

Alan Maxwell from Technical Support provided a very quick resolution for the problem of our MagiCard ID Printer. Excellent working and Thanks a lot!

Printer model: Rio Pro 360
