Whether you are printing membership cards, employee IDs, or access control cards, this printer offers exceptional features like duplex printing, lamination, and color dye sublimation to meet a wide range of card printing needs.

Print Technology and Speed

• Print Technology: The Primacy 2 Lamination Simplex Expert uses color dye sublimation for vibrant, full-color printing, while monochrome thermal transfer is used for black text and designs. This combination delivers high-quality results for both color and monochrome prints.
