With its Primacy card printer, Evolis takes instant card issuance to a new level by offering a double-sided color printer that is simple to operate, yet extremely flexible and very fast. This printer stands as the best option to edit personalized ID cards in a decentralized way.

For more flexibility and top performances, Primacy is equipped either with a single or double-sided option. To support user-evolving requirements, the double-sided option can be enabled on-site. This flexible approach is also available for encoding options: users can deploy them rapidly whatever the encoding requirement (encoding of magnetic stripes, smart cards or RFID contactless cards).

Evolis Primacy comes with the latest innovations in encoding and therefore supports any type of cards while providing premium and unmatched efficiency. Healthcare organizations, educational institutions, banks, governmental agencies and service bureaus rely on Primacy to issue: secured access control badges, driver's licenses, transit passes, bank cards.

Ultimate performances in card printing!

Primacy personalizes color cards in a record time. Up to 210 cards per hour for one side, and 140 cards per hour for dual-sided printing. Primacy delivers cards in runs, thanks to 100-card capacity input and output hoppers. These modules are conveniently located at the front of the printer and can be accessed easily and monitored at a glance. Primacy is the very first printer in its a category to offer this level of performances through such a compact size and footprint.

Primacy is an eco-designed ID card printer. The energy consumption is on average 5 times lower than card printers from previous generation. The printer benefits from the ENERGY STAR certification and is compliant with the ErP directive. Primacy operates at a low 48 db sound level and, therefore, can be seamlessly deployed into any working environment.

"These new innovative features make Primacy the optimum choice for users who require an easy-to-use card printer. Primacy ensures top-notch printing quality at an unmatched printing speed!" said Christophe Peraudeau, Evolis Product Manager.
