Evolis Primacy 2 LCD Single Sided ID Card Printer

The Evolis Primacy 2 single-sided ID card printer is a premium, easy-to-operate system that’s both versatile and fast. With borderless (edge-to-edge) output and support for rewritable cards, your badges come out looking sharp. The PM2-0002-A includes Ethernet as standard. Primacy 2 personalizes full-color cards at record speed—up to 280 cards per hour for single-sided printing, and 170 cards per hour for dual-sided jobs. A single-sided Primacy 2 can be upgraded to duplex at any time via an activation key. This adaptable printer also accepts optional modules whenever you need magnetic, contact, or contactless encoding.

Powerful and Compact
Primacy 2 handles batches with ease 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 small footprint. You’ll also enjoy outstanding print quality at an exceptional throughput.

Easy to Use
Bundled with the Evolis Premium Suite® software, Primacy 2 auto-tunes itself during operation. Users get on-screen alert pop-ups, and 24/7 online assistance is just a click away. Cards load from the front, and ribbons come in drop-in cassettes for effortless replacement. Each ribbon is automatically recognized and configured.
