The new Evolis Pebble 4(Pebble) printer incorporates innovations to make operation easier.
With its new design, its new colors, and its advanced technology, the Pebble is the most ingenious card printer of its generation.
Fitted with ingenious concepts such as its opening system facilitating rapid installation of consumables, its print head, which can be dismantled and reassembled in a few seconds without any tools or adjustments, its feeder with integrated weight and variable card thickness lever, the New Evolis Pebble is now setting the benchmark for plastic card printers.
FREE eMedia Software
The new Pebble comes complete with the standard edition of eMedia ID software and is as easy to use as an office printer. No particular technical or computer knowledge is required for installation: connect the cables, simply click to install the eMedia software and its driver, and without any other adjustments, you are now ready to print your cards in 16 million colors.
More efficient than ever
Its modern curves hide an ultra-robust, high-performance product. With its thermal transfer and sublimation printing technologies and its unique cooling system, the new Evolis Pebble produces in a few seconds natural colors and images with an exceptional finish, directly onto plastic cards.
The only Mac compatible printer
The Pebble is the only Mac OS X compatible ID card printer on the market. The Mac version of the Pebble ships with USB port, USB cable, and full documentation of the drivers.

Pebble Magnetic Encoder Option
This encoder allows you to personalise your cards in two different modes:
- ISO 7811 Norms using tracks 1, 2 and 3 (standard factory settings)
- Custom mode for specific applications (with different track formats, density per track, start and stop characters…). For magnetic specific encoding developments, please ask us the programming guide or contact our technical support.
Not forgetting to mention that the encoder can be defined by the user to operate with either a low (300 oerstets), medium (2750 oerstets) or high (4000 oerstets) coercivity, by a simple click via the Windows driver. To set the medium coercivity, select high coercivity in the Windows driver.
A market leader in printers of plastic cards!
This magnetic encoder can be fitted to any standard New Pebble printer by simply connecting it, without having to send it back to the factory! This simple operation enables the user to update the printer at low cost and without needing to change equipment.

Pebble Smart Card Encoder Option
Give an "intelligent" dimension to your cards by taking advantages of the New Pebble SMART Printer from Evolis.
The new Pebble SMART is based on the characteristics of the New Pebble printer and integrates a Smart Card Contact Station which enables you to personalise the chip cards. The New Pebble SMART is compatible with any ISO 7816-2 Chip Cards.
The push & contact system of the Smart Card Contact Station provides the contact with the card only when a personalisation of the chip is required. This advantage ensures a better Contact Station durability and a higher card printing quality as it prevents scratches on the card surface.
This option is factory settings as standard and not field upgradable.

** Print speed is measured from the time a card feeds into the printer to the time it ejects from the printer.Print speeds do not include the time needed for the PC to process the image.Process time is dependent on the size of the file, the CPU, amount of RAM and the amount of available resources at the time of the print. |
