Retransfer technology: the highest print quality for your cards and badges

Agilia’s retransfer technology gives your cards a perfect aesthetic finish and offers you a wide range of graphic personalization options. This high quality is made possible by its ability to print beyond the edge (the design covers the entire surface of the card) and the 600 dpi resolution of its print head.


The result is brilliantly colored cards, right down to the smallest detail. Any design is possible, single- or double-sided, depending on your needs. And for even more advanced nuance settings, Agilia offers colorimetric profile adjustment: so you get a rendering as close as possible to the colors seen on screen.

Printing secure and durable cards

Agilia’s exceptional printing finesse also allows you to print various superior security features as standard. For example, you can print micro-text or high-definition QR codes on your cards, simply by customizing the graphics. If you need an even higher level of security, or to add certain functionalities to your cards, you can also personalize them electrically thanks to the multiple encoding options (magnetic stripe, contact or contactless chip).

Card security and durability often go hand in hand. That’s why the clear ribbon (Clear RT 1200) can be applied in a double layer, giving the card superior resistance to abrasion (available in 2024).

Agilia with lamination module: even greater security and durability for your cards

Combine Agilia with the Evolis lamination module and you get a complete system for personalizing and protecting all your cards. The lamination module not only protects your cards from wear and tear, but also from fraud and forgery.

Once Agilia has customized your cards graphically and electrically, they are automatically sent to the lamination module for protection. In this way, personalization and protection are carried out in a single pass. Varnish, patches, with or without holograms: the possibilities offered by the lamination module are numerous.

Print all types of cards with retransfer technology

Retransfer technology allows printing regardless the material and surface quality of the card to be printed. Many kinds of cards can be personalized using the Agilia printer:

  • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
  • Composite Polyvinyl Chloride (composite PVC)
  • PET, polyethylene terephthalate
  • ABS, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
  • PC, polycarbonate.

Printing is possible on all cards with a thickness of between 30 and 50 mil, even those with irregularities (such as chip cards). Agilia personalizes them with a printing speed of up to 150 cards/hour (single-sided). Also equipped with a 200-card feeder and a 100-card hopper, Agilia offers you a high-performance issuance.
