The Evolis Primacy 2 Lamination Single-Sided ID card printer is an all-in-one solution designed for organizations that require secure, durable, and professional 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 Single-Sided is available in both single-sided and dual-sided ID card printing configurations, giving your organization flexibility as your needs grow. 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 printer.

Cards are laminated by heat-sealing a protective film—either varnish or patch laminate of varying thickness—over the entire surface of the card after it has been printed and encoded. This lamination process significantly extends card lifespan, protects against wear, fading, and daily handling, and adds an additional layer of security. Optional holographic laminates can also be used to help prevent counterfeiting and unauthorized duplication.

Designed for ease of use and seamless integration, these printers come standard with both USB and Ethernet connectivity, making them ideal for standalone or networked environments. The Primacy 2 Lamination Single-Sided also includes CardPresso XXS ID card software, which can be upgraded at any time to support advanced card design, database integration, and encoding requirements.

The Primacy 2 Lamination Single-Sided 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.

If you require advanced encoding, the Primacy 2 Lamination Single-Sided offers extensive options to meet your needs. Choose from 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 Single-Sided is perfect for employee ID badges, government credentials, healthcare IDs, student IDs, and secure access control cards that require extended durability and protection.
