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

The Primacy 2 Lamination Dual-Sided printer delivers full front and back card personalization in a single workflow, making it ideal for organizations that require detailed ID cards, including photos, barcodes, and additional security elements. For organizations starting with a single-sided configuration, the Primacy 2 platform also offers a field upgrade option, allowing you to convert to dual-sided printing at any time as your needs grow.

Cards are laminated by heat-sealing a protective film—either varnish or patch laminate of varying thickness—over the surface of the card after it has been printed and encoded. This process significantly extends card life, protects against wear, fading, and daily handling, and adds an extra layer of security. Lamination also supports holographic overlays to help prevent counterfeiting and unauthorized duplication of ID cards.

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

The Primacy 2 Lamination Dual-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 Dual-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.
