    Efficient ID Card Printing
    With 100-card input and output hoppers, batch printing is easy. The Primacy prints up to 140 cards per hour for dual-sided cards. With Ethernet connectivity you can easily integrate the Primacy into a networked environment, allowing multiple users to access the printer from remote locations.

    The Primacy also uses Evolis High Trust printer ribbons. A chip in the ribbon identifies the ribbon to the printer, adjusting the printing settings and making the ribbon cartridges less error-prone.

    Mac & Linux Compatibility
    A major advantage of Evolis printers is compatibility with Mac and Linux operating systems. The Evolis Primacy has options for both Max and Linux drivers if needed. While not all card design software can work with Mac or Linux drivers, you will still be able to design and print cards with the Primacy.

    The Evolis Primacy Dual comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty which covers the printer and print-head.
