Evolis Primacy 2 LCD Dual Sided ID Card Printer

The Evolis Primacy 2 LCD dual-sided ID card printer is a premium, easy-to-use system designed for clarity and control. Its bright integrated LCD touchscreen lets you easily monitor printer status, manage ribbon changes, and receive alerts in real time. With edge-to-edge printing and support for rewritable cards, your badges will look outstanding. The PM2-0013-A comes standard with Ethernet connectivity and no encoding, but you can choose from several factory-configurable options: magnetic stripe encoding (PM2-0015), dual smart card/contactless encoding with IDENTIV chipset (PM2-0017), or the SpringCard Crazy Writer HSP contactless encoder (PM2-0019).

Powerful and Compact
Primacy 2 handles batch runs thanks to 100-card input and output hoppers. Both are front-facing for quick access and at-a-glance monitoring. It’s the first printer in its class to deliver this level of performance in such a compact footprint, while ensuring excellent print quality at remarkable speed.

Easy to Use
The built-in LCD interface works hand in hand with Evolis Premium Suite® software, automatically fine-tuning settings during operation. Users get on-screen alerts directly on the printer and on their computer, and 24/7 online help is just a click away. Cards load easily from the front, and ribbons come in drop-in cassettes for effortless replacement—each ribbon is automatically detected and configured.
