The Evolis Tattoo RW (TTR201BBH) is a rewritable card printer: instead of a ribbon it uses thermal rewrite technology to erase and reprint rewritable PVC cards up to 500 times – ideal for visitor badges, loyalty and membership cards whose data changes regularly. It erases and prints a card in about 8 seconds at 300 dpi, has a detachable 100-card feeder and connects via USB and Ethernet. This basic version prints without encoding.
