  • reduces the power consumption of its printers through a very economical hibernation mode.

A modular and compact card printer

Configuration on demand

Elypso printers are fully modular. Not only can Elypso print either single or dual sided cards, it can also be equipped with encoders for magnetic stripe and contact and contactless smart cards.
The software architecture of Evolis Premium Suite® was designed to make Elypso fit seamlessly with your existing computer systems.
