Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Evolis Tattoo RW different from traditional ID card printers?
The Tattoo RW is a ribbon-free printer that uses rewritable cards with thermochromatic material, allowing you to erase and print on the same card up to 500 times. This makes it ideal for applications requiring temporary or frequently updated data, such as loyalty cards with bonus points or corporate visitor badges with changing details.
Can the Evolis Tattoo RW handle magnetic stripe encoding?
Yes, the Tattoo RW Mag ISO model includes a dual HiCo/LoCo 3-track magnetic stripe encoder, enabling you to encode sensitive data directly onto ID cards. This makes it suitable for applications requiring both visual card printing and magnetic stripe functionality.
What connectivity options are available on this printer?
The Evolis Tattoo RW offers both USB and Ethernet connectivity, allowing flexible integration into your existing network infrastructure or direct connection to individual workstations. This dual connectivity ensures compatibility with various IT environments and deployment scenarios.
What are typical use cases for a rewritable card printer?
The Tattoo RW excels in applications where card data changes frequently or temporarily, such as loyalty programs displaying updated bonus points, special offers on customer cards, or corporate visitor badges that need regular name and detail updates. The ability to reuse cards up to 500 times reduces material waste and long-term costs.
Is the Evolis Tattoo RW suitable for single-sided printing?
Yes, the Tattoo RW is designed for single-sided rewritable card printing, making it a straightforward solution for organizations that need flexible, updatable card data without the complexity of dual-sided printing.
How does the rewritable card technology work?
The Tattoo RW uses cards containing thermochromatic material that becomes visible or disappears based on applied temperature, creating a reversible printing process. This technology allows the same card to be erased and reprinted multiple times, supporting sustainable practices and frequent data updates.
