Evolis Primacy 2 Simplex Expert ID Card Printer with Elyctis Smart Smart Card Encoder (Single Sided)

The Evolis Primacy 2 SpeedSecure Card Printer is a professional desktop ID card personalization solution engineered for organizations that require reliable, high-quality on‑demand card issuance. Designed for applications such as employee badges, student and campus cards, visitor credentials and event passes, the Primacy 2 combines dual‑sided printing, modular encoding (magstripe, contact and contactless), and optional lamination to deliver durable, secure cards. Its compact form factor, touchscreen or LED controls, high-capacity feeders and multiple connectivity options (USB, Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, NFC) provide fast throughput, flexible integration and simplified day‑to‑day operation for medium to large volume environments seeking consistent color reproduction and secure encoding capabilities.

Key Features

• Dual-sided (duplex) printing: Native or field‑upgradeable duplex capability enables professional double‑sided card production for IDs, reducing handling and speeding batch workflows.
• Modular encoding options: Supports magnetic stripe, contact chip and contactless chip encoding with installed SpringCard Crazy Writer HSP for secure access control and payment applications.
• Lamination support: Optional lamination module and protective laminates extend card lifespan and enhance tamper resistance for long‑term ID programs.
• High-capacity feeding and throughput: 100‑card input and 100‑card output hoppers (with optional 200‑card feeder) and fast single/dual‑side print speeds to meet medium–high volume production needs.
• Flexible connectivity and usability: USB, Ethernet, WLAN/Wi‑Fi and NFC connectivity combined with an intuitive touch screen or LED control panel for easy integration and operator efficiency.
