Evolis introduces new feature for entry-level printer

Thursday, May 1, 2008

France-based Evolis has introduced a new printing module for its Tattoo2 entry-level printer. Tattoo2 targets applications such as membership cards, student IDs, loyalty cards or employee and visitor badges.

The new features include an improved print module that enables better print quality for the user. Evolis also changed the printer’s firmware and drivers to meet the needs of better print quality.

Besides providing color and monochrome printing the printer can also be upgraded to fit other needs, such as direct transfer onto thermosensitive cards, printing on paper tickets, ISO-compliant magnetic encoding or RFID encoding. [end]
