Print on your plastic cards… again and again !

Tattoo RW is the ultimate solution to print temporary or updatable cards. It is the ideal solution to revise and reprint within seconds:

• Visitor badges and access control badge                Visitor Management System 
• Transit passes , travel cards
• Holiday and leisure resorts passes
  
• Loyalty cards
  
• Membership cards
  
• Student IDs
  

With Tattoo RW, your cards are updated whenever required, while a same card can be erased, revised and printed anew up to 500 times.

Rewritable printing? How does it work? Why do you need it?

Tattoo RW is a ribbon-free printer that uses rewritable cards. Such cards contain a thermochromatic material that turns visible, or vanishes, according to the applied temperature.

The RW technology is ideal whenever your data often change for a same holder or when you want to re-use a same card for different persons :

• Loyalty cards : change the loyalty point statement, add personalized promotions and special offers directly on the card
• Visitor badges :  re-use the same badge with a different name, company name and visit date.
• Holiday or ski resort:  re-use a same badge for different customers and change the name, the photo, a barcode or a validity date
• Membership cards : change the validity date or add options
• Student cards : you can use one single card for a same student for his/her whole stay at the university. You just need to change the validity date and course.

Thanks to this reversible process, you can erase and print on the same card up to 500 times.

Bring advanced technologies to your cards! 
Tattoo RW can encode on magnetic stripes or on contactless chips. Thanks to the rewritable technology, these data can also be displayed and updated on the card surface.

Choose a cost-efficient solution 
This revolutionary rewritable technology requires no ribbon, which translates into valuable savings. No need to throw away your cards each time you need an update: erase and reprint only updated data on your existing card!

REWRITABLE CARD PRINTING: Bring your cards to life!

An initial investment offered at its lowest price, adapted applications and a rich and competitive card offer. Tattoo perfectly answers to the needs and expectations of those who wish to lower the cost per card to a minimum and who are looking for a solution concerned with the environment.

Printing a card up to 500 times

Prolong the shelf life of your cards and maximise their use by reusing the same card up to 500 times. No more waste for applications that require a very short use (temporary staff, badges for events, etc.).

Economical & Environment friendly

Tattoo RW adheres to sustainable development. Ribbon-less printing also reduces not only the printing cost per card but also the ecological impact by reducing waste linked to printing your cards.

FLEXIBILITY: Use Tattoo RW up to your needs

Thanks to Tattoo RW, the card becomes a re-usable medium and a dynamic mean of communication.

The printer allows you to have the information on your cards, whether printed or encoded evolve in a few seconds. The available options and settings allow it to adapt to the majority of people!

Manual Feeding or Feeder module

Personalize the way it is used according to your needs: the cards can be automatically or manually inserted and ejected. Whether a personalisation by the unit or limited series production are involved.

Automatic thickness adjustment

Tattoo RW automatic card thickness adjustment makes any manual adjustment redundant! The printer accepts cards from 0.50 to 0.76 mm (20 to 30 mil) without manual adjustment.
