Evolis introduces in-sync two new versions of its blockbuster printers: the fourth generation of Pebble for single-sided color printing and the third generation of the Dualys dual-sided color printer. Pebble4 and Dualys3 benefit from the latest encoding technologies (ISO or JIS2 magnetic tracks, and smart card with contact or contactless - RFID) that can be seamlessly combined. These multiple encoding options make it possible to personalize multiple-feature cards in a single pass, making it valuable to multiple industries: identification, biometric security, leisure and entertainment, loyalty programs, transport passes, educational organizations, corporate and financial institutions.

Angers, France, June 6, 2007 – Evolis, the Expert in plastic card personalization, introduces in-sync two new versions of its blockbuster printers: the fourth generation of Pebble for single-sided color printing and the third generation of the Dualys dual-sided color printer.

The Pebble and Dualys card printers, the flagship products of the Evolis range, have earned several enhancements since their initial launch, six years ago. With constantly renewed and improved features, both models evidence Evolis’ proficiency to innovate and always be in line with market needs.

Stunning graphical performances matched with cutting-edge design The Pebble and Dualys printers have garnered a strong market reputation for their printing speed, and now take graphical performances to new heights. Pebble4 and Dualys3 come with a new, more powerful CPU, and a new printhead to strongly improve the precision of any printed image.

Since their initial launch in the market, the successive versions of Pebble and Dualys have made a difference thanks to their high-tech design, fluid lines and translucent colors. Pebble4 and Dualys3 capitalize on these strong assets. Their shells come in vivid, original colors that can be swapped to be always in tune with users’ work spaces.
