Description
Evolis Agilia Single-Sided Retransfer ID Card Printer with HiCo/LoCo 3-Track Magnetic Stripe Encoder, USB, Ethernet & ID-ALL Starter
The Evolis Agilia Single-Sided Retransfer ID Card Printer with Magnetic Stripe Encoder combines high-resolution 600 x 600 dpi retransfer printing with integrated ISO dual HiCo/LoCo 3-track magnetic stripe encoding for organizations that need professional ID cards with both visual personalization and magnetic data encoding.
This Agilia configuration includes USB and Ethernet connectivity plus ID-ALL Starter Edition software for designing and printing personalized employee badges, access credentials, membership cards, student IDs, and other professional magnetic stripe cards.
600 dpi Retransfer Print Quality
Agilia uses retransfer printing technology, where the card image is first printed onto transfer film and then applied to the card surface. This allows printed images to extend beyond the physical card edges for clean, professional over-the-edge printing.
With 600 x 600 dpi resolution, Agilia produces sharp photographs, fine text, logos, graphics, barcodes, and detailed security elements for professional identification applications.
Integrated HiCo & LoCo Magnetic Stripe Encoding
This configuration includes a factory-installed ISO 7811 magnetic stripe encoder supporting tracks 1, 2, and 3 with both high-coercivity and low-coercivity magnetic stripes.
The dual HiCo/LoCo capability gives organizations flexibility when producing cards for access control, identification, membership, loyalty, time-and-attendance, and other systems that rely on magnetic stripe data.

HiCo vs. LoCo Magnetic Stripe Encoding
HiCo magnetic stripes use higher coercivity and are designed for cards that may be swiped frequently or exposed to environments where greater resistance to accidental magnetic erasure is desired.
Common applications include employee ID cards, access credentials, time-and-attendance cards, and other frequently used identification cards.
LoCo magnetic stripes use lower coercivity and are commonly used for cards where the encoded information may change more frequently or where the card is intended for more limited use.
The Agilia's dual HiCo/LoCo encoder provides flexibility to support either type of magnetic stripe card within a single printer configuration.
Why Choose Retransfer Printing?
Unlike direct-to-card printers, Agilia does not place the printhead directly against the card surface. Instead, the image is printed onto transfer film and then applied to the card.
This process delivers excellent image quality and full card coverage, making retransfer technology particularly suitable for professional identification, access cards, smart cards, photo IDs, and secure credentials.
ID-ALL Starter Edition Included
The Agilia includes one license for ID-ALL Starter Edition, Evolis' current card design and personalization software.
ID-ALL Starter provides basic card design and printing tools, text and image editing, card templates, dynamic fields, a limited internal database, and support for Code 39 and Code 128 barcodes.
Existing designs created with cardPresso can also be opened in ID-ALL, helping organizations transition from the previous software platform.
