The video below shows the Magicard 600 printhead replacement but the process is very similar for all Magicard direct-to-card printers.

Please visit our YouTube channel to see videos for your specific printer model.

 


Replacing the printhead | Video Guide


Your replacement printhead may appear differently to the old head.

If your old printhead did not have the connector shown below and the new one does have it then don’t worry as you can ignore this printhead connector for a printer without the drain wire to connect to it.

The printhead simply had an updated drain wire to allow use across our model ranges with the addition of this connector:

Other updates over time have been to the heatsink within the printhead assembly to remove the coloured anodising (left to middle) and more recently moved to a cast head (right).  The latest printhead is fully backwards compatible into an older printer.

What customers say about our support...

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

Alan M was a fab help! Quick to help and even called me back when we were cut off due to a power cut on my end! Called him back the following week and he remembered me and the problem i was having. Thanks Alan!!

Printer model: Pronto

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

Printer model: Magicard 600

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

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.
