Evolis Tattoo RW Printer Description

The Evolis Tattoo RW printer is a great solution for a business that needs a low cost, earth-friendly alternative to standard direct-to-card printing. Rewritable cards used with the Tattoo RW feature thermo-chromatic material that turns visible, or vanishes, according to the applied temperature. The reversibility of these cards makes it possible to erase and print on them up to 500 times. Therefore, the monochrome, rewritable Evolis Tattoo RW printer is perfect for applications where card data changes regularly.
Evolis Tattoo RW Printer - Features
The ribbon-less card printer.
The Tattoo RW is a ribbon-free printer that uses rewritable cards. These cards can be erased and reprinted with new information over and over again. Rewritable technology not only lowers your cost per card and total cost of ownership, but it also drastically reduces the waste associated with traditional card printing and therefore shrinks your environmental footprint.
