Enjoy Fast, Efficient Output
The Evolis Primacy prints small or large runs in record time: up to 225 full-color cards and up to 1,000 monochrome cards in a single hour. And you can print a large batch without constantly monitoring your printer—the card feeder and output hopper each hold 100 cards. Plus, defective cards just slide out the back of the printer into the reject box without interrupting the print job.
Just set the production run, load the cards, and then move on to your next task as the Primacy completes the print job.
Fits Perfectly into Any Office Setting
The Primacy blends right into your office with its lightweight (under 9 lbs) and compact size (9.72” x 8.07” x 14.99”) and sleek, modern design (including two exterior color options). As a space-saving feature and for easy access to cards, the input and output hoppers are both located on the front of the machine. With a whisper sound level of 48 decibels, it is one of the quietest printers in the world.
Easy, Secure Printing
Save your head space for things that really need your attention. The Primacy alerts you of print status on an easy to read LED display. The Evolis Premium Suite Software? displays cleaning, card and ribbon alerts as well as printer status directly on your computer. And Evolis High Trust? easy-load ribbons are recognized by the printer, with no configuring necessary on your part.
For your peace of mind during and between print jobs, the printer features a Kensington-style lock slot and optional locking hoppers.

Optional Encoding
Magnetic stripe, contact chip and contactless chip encoding are all available as factory or on-site upgrades.
