Evolis Enhances Its Card Printers with UHF Gen 2 RFID Encoding Capabilities


Fort Lauderdale, FL - Evolis, a global leader in solutions for plastic card
personalization, introduces the ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) Gen 2 RFID encoding option within its top-selling card printers, Pebble and Dualys. Evolis further demonstrates its commitment to offering innovative and reliable solutions by now integrating UHF Gen 2 encoders to its single and dual-sided models - Pebble and Dualys. This new
option will allow organizations to implement efficient yet secure identification and access control RFID systems.

A secure and efficient technology

The Gen 2 UHF RFID technology - already widely used in asset management - brings security, speed and convenience to any identification process. Gen 2 ID cards offer a wider read range and allow multiple card reads at the same time. Extremely secure, Gen 2 is an internationally recognized standard that allows for significant flexibility in many applications when integrated in an Evolis card printer.

One system, multiple applications

The Evolis Pebble and Dualys card printers proudly carry the stamp of Evolis' strong commitment to reliability. Ready for integration, Pebble and Dualys offer unmatched quality along with a pioneering 3-year warranty (with unlimited number of printed cards). The Evolis Pebble or Dualys UHF printers support a wide variety of applications for various vertical markets:

Identification of employees, customers, visitors, or students to ease traffic at entry and exit points of secure areas.

Access control in high-security premises or locations where crowd control is an issue such as ski resorts, cruise ships, amusement parks or events.

Tracking of people and assets throughout facilities with the same readers.

"Evolis strives to offer innovative and reliable solutions to the ID card printing industry" says Gerardo Talavera, Managing Director at Evolis Inc. "The addition of Gen 2 encoders to our line of printers will allow organizations to implement efficient and reliable RFID systems while benefiting from Evolis' unique alliance of quality and value."

A successful partnership

Evolis has partnered with TransTech Systems, Inc., an established leader in the ID badging and access control industry, to introduce its first UHF card printing solutions to the market. TransTech Systems was acquired by Visualant, Inc. on June 8, 2010.

The reliability, flexibility and quality of the offer combined with TransTech Systems' unique expertise in the ID industry have already convinced many companies to switch to Gen 2 ID card systems.

"We are proud to bring the first Gen 2 Evolis card printer systems to the market" says Jeff Kruse, General Manager at TransTech Systems. "As a leading provider of ID and access control solutions, we are relentlessly on the hunt for new solutions that bring additional value to our customers. We have tested the Evolis Gen 2 card printers for applications such as amusement park, event and cruise ship passes, and the initial results have been fantastic. We look forward to introducing these solutions to a
wider audience."
