Professional credentials, printed at your desk
The Evolis Avansia is a dual-sided retransfer ID card printer built for high-security, high-volume card programs. It prints at a true 600 dpi with over-the-edge coverage: the image goes onto a clear transfer film first, then the film is thermally bonded to the card, so chips, uneven surfaces, and non-PVC materials all come out with a flawless, durable finish.
Magnetic stripe encoding built in
This configuration writes ISO 7811 magnetic stripes, tracks 1, 2 and 3, high- or low-coercivity, inline as each card prints, so badges come out ready to swipe.
Contact and contactless encoding built in
This configuration includes the factory-installed Evolis Elyctis Dual encoder (IDENTIV chipset). One unit personalizes both contact smart cards (PC/SC, EMV 2000-1) and 13.56 MHz contactless credentials, including ISO 14443 A and B, ISO 15693, MIFARE, and DESFire.
Card lamination included
This configuration pairs the printer with the Evolis Card Lamination Module (CLM). The CLM applies clear or holographic patches and varnishes to one or both sides of the card as part of the same inline job, extending card life up to 10 years and making credentials far harder to alter or copy. Because lamination applies heat, use composite PVC/PET cards in this configuration: standard all-PVC cards can warp under laminator heat. The recommended composite cards are listed under Compatible Supplies.
Built for secure issuance
The Avansia feeds from a 250-card hopper into a 250-card output stacker, prints up to 144 single-sided or 96 dual-sided cards per hour, and holds cards for two-sided printing without operator handling. An RFID locking key controls ribbon authentication, and a mechanical locking system is available. Because retransfer printing applies heat, use composite PVC/PET cards: standard all-PVC cards can warp. The recommended composite cards are listed under Compatible Supplies.
Software included
Every Avansia ships with a CardPresso XXS software license for badge design and printing, plus Windows drivers. Evolis High Trust ribbons for the Avansia ship with an electronic key that must be installed in the printer; without the key, the Avansia will not print.
Specialist ID is an authorized Evolis dealer. The Avansia carries a 3-year printer warranty and a lifetime print head warranty with genuine Evolis High Trust ribbons and films.
