The Evolis Primacy 2 Lamination ID card printer is an all-in-one solution designed for organizations that require secure, durable, and high-quality ID card printing. Ideal for medium to large business applications, this system combines high-speed printing with in-line lamination to produce long-lasting, tamper-resistant credentials.

The Primacy 2 Lamination is available in both single-sided and dual-sided ID card printing configurations, providing flexibility for a wide range of ID card programs. If your current budget does not allow for a dual-sided printer, the single-sided Primacy 2 offers a convenient field upgrade, allowing you to convert to dual-sided printing at any time without replacing your system.

Lamination is applied by heat-sealing a protective film over the entire surface of the card after it has been printed and encoded. This process significantly extends card life, protects against wear and fading, and adds an additional layer of security. Lamination also supports holographic overlays, helping prevent counterfeiting and unauthorized duplication of ID cards.

These printers come standard with both USB and Ethernet connectivity, making them easy to integrate into single-user or networked environments. The Primacy 2 Lamination also includes CardPresso XXS ID card software, which can be upgraded at any time to support advanced card design, database integration, and encoding applications.

The Primacy 2 Lamination supports a wide range of encoding options for secure credential issuance. An optional Mag ISO dual HiCo/LoCo 3-track magnetic stripe encoder is available for access control, time and attendance, and data storage applications.

Additional encoding options available for the Primacy 2 Lamination include the SpringCard Crazy Writer HSP contactless encoder, Elyctis dual smart card encoder (Identiv chipset contactless), CAEN RFID UHF FCC encoder, TWN4 Legic NFC encoding, and HID® OMNIKEY® 5121 dual interface encoding kit. These printers support major smart card and RFID technologies including ISO 14443 A/B, ISO 15693, MIFARE®, DESFire®, HID iCLASS®, and UHF (EPC C1 Gen2 / ISO 18000-6C), making them ideal for multi-technology ID card programs.

Compatible with PVC cards, composite cards, and specialty card materials, the Primacy 2 Lamination is ideal for government IDs, corporate employee badges, healthcare credentials, student IDs, and high-security access control cards that require extended durability and protection.

The Primacy 2 Lamination is built for long-term performance and continuous operation. With proper maintenance and routine cleaning, it provides reliable, high-volume card production and is considered a true workhorse for secure ID issuance environments.

Certifications include CE, FCC, ICES, VCCI, CCC, KC, BIS, and RoHS compliance, ensuring the printer meets global standards for safety and environmental responsibility.
