Evolis: first card printer manufacturer to offer a 3-year warranty

Evolis has extended the warranty for its Pebble4 and Dualys3 color printers by one whole year. The new warranty is applicable since the official market launch of the new lines of color printers in June 2007. It covers all components of Pebble4 and Dualys3 printers, including the printhead, and for an unlimited number of printouts.

A strong commitment to the Evolis community of users and distributors

This warranty extension brings strong competitive benefits to Evolis’ distributors and resellers. There is even more value to be gained as Evolis printers now come bundled with multiple free tools and services: card design software, drivers, a cleaning set, free hotline support and training for distributors. And now, with the bonus of a stunning, full, 3-year warranty on the printer.

Emmanuel Picot, CEO, Evolis, says: "We can confidently offer this commitment to our channel partners as we have deployed multiple Quality Assurance control tests at different stages of our manufacturing process and supply chain. Our strong technical expertise, strengthened over the past years, also helps us optimize our customer’s user experience."

An entry-level printer with enhanced graphical performances

Evolis Tattoo² color printer is the ideal one-stop solution to deliver cards singly or in small runs. The features offered by this solution have aligned with the needs of multiple organizations (SMEs, sports clubs, associations, libraries, retail stores and local authorities) that are willing to issue color or monochrome badges in a simple and affordable way. Tattoo² addresses the needs of users who have so far considered badge personalization to be beyond their financial reach. Tattoo² targets applications such as membership cards, student IDs, loyalty cards or even employee and visitor badges. Evolis has leveraged technology innovation to design a new monitoring system for the Tattoo² printing module: Tattoo² users’ benefit from optimized printing quality and graphical performances.

Tattoo², also an open card-printing platform that supplements vertical market systems

Many systems and software vendors are increasingly looking into extending the scope of their solution to plastic card printing. This is specifically the case for players dealing with visitor/employee systems, loyalty/CRM programs, inventory management or even presence management solutions. All these systems need to personalize badges and cards, but requirements are often different from one application to the other. Above providing color and monochrome printing for integration, Tattoo² can be enhanced to fit virtually any needs from vertical market solution vendors, by adding complementary features such as direct transfer onto thermosensitive cards, printing on paper tickets, ISO-compliant magnetic encoding, or RFID encoding.

A mobile and multipurpose solution, ideal for on-site badge delivery

Tattoo² stands as a compact and multipurpose solution with dual card-feeding modes: either via its 100-card feeder or manually to deliver cards by the unit. The printer also features a detachable output hopper that collects and stores all printed cards. Tattoo² therefore provides all the required features needed to operate as a stand-alone printer on any desk or counter.
Card or badge printing for mobile applications (event organization that requires identification of visitors, for example) is now possible, thanks to the new Evolis travel case designed for carrying Tattoo² and all accessories required for plastic card personalization (ribbon, cards, installation CD, cleaning kit, etc.). This new case is of compact size, which makes it suitable as cabin luggage when flying. It is equipped with thick foam for better cushioning and protection during travel. With Tattoo², Evolis further demonstrates its commitment to making plastic card printing affordable: solutions with attractive price points that enable on-demand, simple, quick and highquality printing.
