Description
Evolis Agilia Single-Sided Retransfer ID Card Printer with Dual HiCo/LoCo 3-Track Magnetic Stripe Encoder, USB, Ethernet & ID-ALL Starter
The Evolis Agilia Single-Sided Retransfer ID Card Printer with Dual HiCo/LoCo Magnetic Stripe Encoder combines high-resolution 600 x 600 dpi retransfer printing with integrated 3-track magnetic stripe encoding for professional ID and credential applications.
Designed for organizations that need both premium card appearance and encoded magnetic stripe data, this Agilia configuration includes USB and Ethernet connectivity plus ID-ALL Starter Edition software for creating and printing personalized ID cards.
600 dpi Retransfer Print Quality
Agilia uses retransfer printing technology, where the printed image is first applied to a clear transfer film and then transferred onto the card surface.
This process provides smooth over-the-edge printing and excellent reproduction of photographs, logos, graphics, fine text, barcodes, and other detailed card elements.
With 600 x 600 dpi resolution, Agilia is well suited for professional credentials where image quality and presentation are important.
Dual HiCo/LoCo 3-Track Magnetic Encoding
This Agilia configuration includes an integrated dual HiCo/LoCo 3-track magnetic stripe encoder, allowing organizations to personalize and encode magnetic stripe cards within the same card issuance workflow.
The encoder supports Tracks 1, 2 and 3 and provides flexibility for applications using either high-coercivity or low-coercivity magnetic stripe technology.

HiCo vs. LoCo Magnetic Stripe Cards
HiCo magnetic stripes use higher coercivity and are typically selected for cards that will be used frequently or where greater resistance to accidental magnetic erasure is desired.
Common applications include employee badges, access credentials, time-and-attendance cards, and frequently used identification cards.
LoCo magnetic stripes use lower coercivity and are often used for applications where encoded data may be changed more frequently or where cards are intended for lighter-duty use.
The Agilia's dual HiCo/LoCo capability allows one printer configuration to accommodate both magnetic stripe technologies.
Why Choose Retransfer Printing?
Retransfer printers do not print directly onto the card surface. Instead, the image is printed onto a transfer film and then applied to the card.
This process helps produce consistent, high-quality results and full card coverage, making Agilia an excellent fit for professional photo IDs, access cards, magnetic stripe credentials, employee badges, and secure identification applications.
ID-ALL Starter Edition Included
This Agilia configuration includes ID-ALL Starter Edition, Evolis' current card design and personalization software.
ID-ALL Starter provides tools for creating card layouts containing text, photographs, logos, graphics, dynamic fields, and supported barcodes for everyday badge and credential production.
Ideal Applications
- Employee ID badges
- Access control credentials
- Time-and-attendance cards
- Corporate identification cards
- Government credentials
- Student ID cards
- Membership cards
- Healthcare employee badges
- Loyalty and program cards
- Magnetic stripe identification cards
