{"product_id":"evolis-primacy-2","title":"Evolis Primacy 2 Expert ID Card Printer","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrint personalised staff, student and membership cards in-house with the Evolis Primacy 2 Expert. Choose single-sided printing for straightforward credentials or dual-sided printing when you need space for additional information. With a range of encoding configurations and optional upgrades, Primacy 2 can support both everyday identification and more specialised card projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKeep regular card production moving\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard 100-card feeder supports batch printing without loading every card individually. Colour profiles and enhanced print modes help reproduce photographs, logos and fine details. Rated throughput depends on the ribbon: up to 235 cards per hour with YMCKO, 280 with half-panel colour and 170 with YMCKOK dual-sided printing. Encoding and print settings can affect actual speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eChoose single-sided or dual-sided printing\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelect single-sided for designs on one face, or dual-sided for cards with information on both sides. Duplex printing can be useful when you want a clear photograph and name on the front with instructions or other details on the reverse. The printer uses direct-to-card printing for edge-to-edge designs and can also work with dedicated rewritable cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eSelect the encoding option for your cards\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listed choices include no encoder, magnetic stripe, SpringCard Crazy Writer HSP, OMNIKEY 5122 and Elatec TWN4. The encoder is included only when that configuration is selected. An encoder alone does not make a card compatible with every access-control system: card technology, security credentials and software must also match. Ask us to confirm the exact encoder requirement before ordering for an existing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eProtect card information and improve durability\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigital erasing removes sensitive job data from the printer memory. Compatible YMCKOO ribbons can add a second overlay layer, while additional security requirements can be addressed with optional equipment. Kineclipse ribbon-data masking, mechanical locking, a scanner and the lamination module are separate model options; they are not included in the configurations listed here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMake temporary cards reusable\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRewrite printing is useful for temporary badges whose visible details need to change. With compatible rewritable cards, you can erase and update information for another use. This is a separate media choice from standard colour printing on ordinary plastic cards, so plan the cards and consumables around the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eConnect, design and manage your cards\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese Expert configurations include USB and Ethernet. Evolis provides printer-management software for settings, notifications and assistance, and current manufacturer packages include ID-ALL Starter Edition for card design. If your workflow relies on a specific software licence or existing database, confirm the edition and integration requirements before ordering. Wireless connectivity is a separate configuration and is not included here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eRoom to expand as requirements change\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Primacy 2 platform supports options including a larger 200-card feeder, LCD display and lamination. Availability and installation depend on the chosen configuration. The standard feeder for the variants on this page is 100 cards. Evolis provides a three-year manufacturer warranty, subject to its usage, maintenance and consumable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003ch6\u003eAre ribbons and cards included?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This listing is for the printer configuration, not a ribbon-and-card starter bundle. Select compatible ribbons and cards separately, taking account of whether you will print one or both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhich configuration should I choose?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the number of printed sides, then choose the encoder only if your application needs one. For visual photo ID without encoded data, the no-encoder option avoids paying for hardware you do not need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eDoes the magnetic-stripe option include smart-card encoding?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo combined smart-card encoder is promised with the Magnetic Stripe option on this page. If you need both technologies, contact us to confirm a combined configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCan I print access-control cards?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can print compatible card surfaces, but encoding access credentials requires the correct encoder, cards and software. Share your existing system and card references before choosing an encoded model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eAre the LCD, Wi-Fi or lamination module included?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. They are separate options or configurations. The listed models have USB and Ethernet and use the standard LED control panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWill it work with my computer?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvolis provides support for Windows, macOS and Linux through its printer software and drivers. Check the current driver and card-design software requirements for your operating-system version and chosen encoder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCan Lesar help with the consumables?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Tell us the card design, printing volume and selected configuration so we can help you choose matching ribbons, cards and cleaning supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eFind matching supplies\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/evolis-primacy-2-printer-ribbons\"\u003eBrowse Evolis Primacy 2 ribbons and supplies\u003c\/a\u003e.
