Choosing an Evolis card printer for your organisation

Evolis printers are common in Irish reception areas, HR offices and school administration rooms: they are compact, the ribbons change in seconds, and the range steps up sensibly from a desktop badge printer to a machine that encodes a contactless card while it prints. The question is rarely whether an Evolis card printer will do the job but which one, and that comes down to volume, one side or two, and whether the card carries data as well as a photo.

At the entry point sits the Badgy 200. The Zenius Classic and Zenius Expert are the workhorses for single-sided staff ID, the Primacy 2 covers dual-sided printing, magnetic stripe encoding and wireless versions, and the Agilia, Avansia and Quantum 2 handle retransfer quality and high-volume batches.

Evolis Zenius, Primacy 2 or something larger?

  • Zenius Classic and Expert: single-sided, direct-to-card, the sensible choice for a school or office issuing modest numbers of cards.
  • Primacy 2 Simplex and Duplex: the Duplex prints both faces in one pass, for cards whose back carries terms or a barcode.
  • Tattoo RW and Tattoo2 RW: rewritable printers that erase and reprint the same card, useful for visitor passes and temporary permits.

Prices start from about €1,030 ex VAT for the Zenius Classic; the Primacy 2 Duplex Expert is from about €1,755.

Ribbons, cards and what goes with the printer

Each model has its own YMCKO colour and monochrome cartridges, so buy from the Evolis ribbons collection matched to your printer. Standard 760 micron blank white cards suit the whole range, and the ID card printer bundles put printer, ribbon, cards and software in one order. The Evolis Primacy 2 and Evolis Zenius pages cover each family, and the dual-sided printers page compares Evolis with the other brands we ship across Ireland.

Frequently asked questions

Which Evolis ID card printer suits a small business in Ireland?

For a small office or club, the Badgy 200 or Zenius Classic is enough; the Zenius Expert leaves room to add an encoder later.

What is the difference between the Primacy 2 Simplex and Duplex?

The Simplex prints one side; the Duplex flips the card and prints both in one pass.

Can an Evolis printer encode access control cards?

Yes, on the right model. The Primacy 2 Duplex Expert writes HiCo and LoCo magnetic stripes, the Zenius Expert with OMNIKEY 5122 handles contact and contactless smart cards, and the Quantum 2 combines all three.
