Evolis Primacy2 Single/Dual Sided ID Card Printer
Evolis Primacy2 is a high-performance single/dual sided ID card printer engineered to handle medium-to-large badge volume requests with blistering output speeds. It integrates advanced color profile optimizations, a secure digital data erasure architecture, and built-in card rewrite technology to provide enterprise-grade versatility in a compact footprint.
- Blistering print output delivering up to 280 full-color single-sided cards or 1,000 monochrome cards per hour.
- Kineclipse® ribbon masking technology that renders residual data on used ribbons completely unreadable to preserve privacy.
- Eco-friendly rewrite capability allowing users to erase and reprint temporary cards up to 500 times without ribbons.
- High-definition print modes scaling from standard 300 dpi up to 300×1200 dpi for ultra-sharp monochrome text and fine graphics.
The Evolis Primacy2 serves as the highly capable successor to the legendary original Primacy line, bringing optimized productivity and modernized security to decentralized card printing. Its modular architecture allows organizations to deploy it as a single-sided solution today and upgrade to dual-sided processing or lamination features seamlessly in the future. This reliable machine is heavily integrated across corporate offices, healthcare centers, airport terminals, and educational networks throughout Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Al Ain.
What Makes Evolis Primacy2 Different?
- Dual Data Protection Layers: Combines Kineclipse® physical ribbon masking with automated digital memory clearing to keep cardholder information confidential.
- Integrated Ribbon Smartchips: Detects ink cartridges automatically, applying optimized colorimetric profiles to match real-life shades perfectly.
- Flexible Operating Modes: Bridges the gap between standard thermal printing and ribbonless rewritable badge card configurations.
- Dedicated Reject Tray: Isolates unencoded or misprinted cards into a separate 50-card rear compartment to keep bulk jobs running smoothly.
Capacity & Performance
- Produces up to 280 full-color single-sided cards (YMCKO) or 170 dual-sided color cards per hour.
- Reaches monochrome speeds of up to 1,000 cards per hour for high-velocity batch issuance.
- Configured with a standard 100-card input feeder and 100-card output hopper, with an upgrade path to a 200-card input unit.

The Evolis Primacy2 protects data using two distinct systems: Digital Erasing automatically clears transmitted information from the printer's memory once printing concludes, while Kineclipse® masks confidential text remaining on the ribbon film to ensure it cannot be read visually.
Rewrite technology uses thermo-chromic cards that react to different printhead temperatures to display or erase graphics. This specialized mode allows a single card to be reused up to 500 times and does not require any ink ribbons, making it incredibly economical for temporary passes.
Yes. The Evolis Primacy2 features a modular design. You can start with a single-sided unit and upgrade to automatic dual-sided printing or include magnetic and smart chip encoding modules directly in the field whenever your security requirements grow.
