Evolis Tattoo2 RW card printer

Evolis Tattoo2 RW – 300 dpi rewritable card printer for reusable badges

The Evolis Tattoo2 RW is a compact rewritable card printer designed for organizations that need fast, economical and flexible personalization for temporary cards or cards that require frequent updates. This model is ideal for visitor badges, temporary access cards, membership cards, price tags, ID cards and other applications where card information needs to be changed periodically without replacing the physical medium. Its special technology allows data to be erased and rewritten on the same card up to 500 times, which helps reduce costs and material consumption.

One of the most important advantages of the Evolis Tattoo2 RW series is that it does not require a ribbon. Printing is done directly thermally on rewritable cards with thermochromic material, and the erasing and rewriting process is very fast. This makes the printer extremely suitable for dynamic operational flows, such as visitor systems, events, reception areas or ticketing and membership applications with constant updates. In addition, the lack of a ribbon brings significant savings and supports a more environmentally friendly approach.

The Evolis Tattoo2 RW offers a resolution of 300 dpi and a maximum print area of 48 x 76 mm, sufficient for texts, barcodes and essential graphics. The print time is approximately 8 seconds with manual feeding and 12 seconds with feeder, which makes it recommended for fast issuance at the point of work. The printer has 16 MB RAM, a control panel with 1 button and 4 LEDs and can be optionally equipped with magnetic stripe or contactless encoding, depending on the version. Connectivity includes USB, and Ethernet is available according to the model.

On the card handling side, the Tattoo2 RW features manual or automatic feeding, a removable feeder for 100 cards and a removable output tray for 15 cards. It supports rewritable CR-80 cards with a thickness between 0.5 and 0.76 mm, including Mitsubishi Black & Blue materials and other validated variants. Its compact dimensions make it easy to integrate into offices, banks, receptions or commercial spaces, and its low weight of 2.4 kg contributes to easy handling. For organizations looking for a fast and economical reusable card printer, the Evolis Tattoo2 RW is a very effective solution.

The printer comes with a 2-year warranty on the printer and printhead, under certain conditions of use. It is Windows compatible and offers a practical solution for projects where cards need to be updated frequently, without the recurring costs of traditional ribbon printing. For temporary badges, updateable loyalty cards and short to medium term applications, the Tattoo2 RW series offers a great balance between compactness, speed and total cost of ownership.
