## Long description

Evolis Primacy 2 is a plastic card printer that uses dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer technologies to produce color and monochrome cards with a maximum print resolution of 300 x 1200 DPI. The Duplex Expert model supports single- and double-sided printing workflows, accepts PVC and PVC composite cards, and holds up to 100 cards in the input hopper. With 32 MB internal memory and Fast Ethernet connectivity, the Primacy 2 is designed for office and mid-volume environments where ID, access, loyalty and membership cards are issued. Its compact footprint (205 × 382 × 247 mm) and modular options allow adaptation to evolving needs.
Advantages
Primacy 2 combines high-resolution dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer in a single device, enabling detailed color printing alongside durable monochrome printing. The printer supports duplex printing and offers modular expandability — additional feeders, encoders, lamination and an LCD panel can be installed later to match changing requirements. Built-in data protection features reduce the risk of sensitive information remaining on ribbons or in memory, and mechanical locking secures consumables and internal components. The unit balances printing speed and quality to support medium-volume runs while maintaining consistent color rendering.
Suitable for
 Issuing staff ID and access control cards in offices and institutions
 Producing loyalty, membership and customer cards for retail and services
 Printing temporary or rewritable badges for visitors and events
 Mid-volume card personalization workflows in HR, security, and administration

How to use
Load PVC cards into the input hopper and install the appropriate ribbon for your print job (color YMCKO-type ribbons for full-color output or resin/monochrome ribbons for text and barcodes). Connect the printer to your network via Fast Ethernet and ensure device drivers are installed on the host workstation. Configure single- or duplex printing in the driver settings as required, and select encoding options if your workflow requires contact, contactless, or magnetic stripe encoding. For rewritable cards use the designated rewrite mode and compatible ribbons or media. Regularly check the printer display or software utility for status and error messages.
Usage recommendations
Use manufacturer-recommended ribbons and cards to ensure print quality and to protect the printhead. When high durability is required, consider adding a lamination module or using double-overlay ribbons to increase abrasion and wear resistance. For sensitive personal data, enable digital erasing and Kineclipse® or equivalent ribbon masking features to minimize data remnants on ribbons and device memory. Perform routine preventive maintenance, keep the feed path and sensors clean, and store consumables in a dry, dust-free environment.
