HOW DOES IT WORK?

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.

This reversible process makes it possible to erase and print on the same card up to 500 times.

Your card turns into a powerful medium that displays temporary or updatable data such as bonus points and special offers on a loyalty card, or the name and relevant details of visitors on a corporate badge.

  • Single-sided printing
  • Rewritable Technology (up to 500 times)
  • Monochrome printing
  • Print cycle : 8 seconds
  • Encoding options : magnetic stripes, contactless smart cards
  • Compatible with Windows XP and Vista (32 and 64-bit)
