Professional credentials, printed at your desk
The Evolis Quantum 2 is a centralized, high-volume ID card printer built for bureaus and card programs that issue thousands of cards at a time. Interchangeable 500-card input and output hoppers keep production running, an aluminium body stands up to continuous duty, and dual-sided direct-to-card printing runs at up to 150 color or 1,000 monochrome cards per hour.
Secured version
This version adds a centralized locking system that locks access to the printer, ribbons, blank cards, and reject cards, for issuance environments where blank card stock and consumables must stay under lock.
Made for card bureaus
The Quantum 2 ships with a Mag ISO magnetic stripe encoder, a smart card contact station, and a connecting panel with a mounting area for integrating your own contactless encoding units, all standard. A patented reversible encoding module writes magnetic stripes and contact smart cards whether cards feed face-up or face-down. Optional Production and Backup packs add a spare hopper, cleaning rollers, and a spare print head to keep the line moving.
Software included
Every Quantum 2 ships with an ID-ALL Starter Edition license for designing and printing badges, plus Windows, macOS, and Linux drivers and the Evolis SDK for bureau integrations.
Specialist ID is an authorized Evolis dealer. The Quantum 2 carries a 1-year printer and print head warranty (limited to 500,000 insertions) with genuine Evolis High Trust ribbons.
