Evolis opens up to Linux
Angers, France, June 19, 2006 – Evolis, the French manufacturer of solutions for plastic card customization, today announced the release of a Linux driver for its entire range of printers, thus making them available, affordable and suitable to a larger scope of users.
Linux has been gaining momentum over the past years and its strong appeal among professionals was key in convincing the Research & Development of Evolis to come out with a new printer driver that supports all versions of Linux. Evolis steps into the Linux community by offering Linux-based solutions for plastic cards customization (smart cards, with and without contact).
This printer driver is available for the entire range of the Evolis printers: Tattoo, Pebble, Dualys, Quantum.
The Linux driver aims at large scale deployments and sets new levels of quality and interoperability for system integrators. Existing users include the RATP - the City of Paris public transport system - which chose the Evolis printers for customizing their Navigo pass in a Linux environment. Today, more than 1.5 million of Parisians use the Navigo pass on a daily basis.
Simple and Free Implementation
Evolis embraces the Linux giveaway policy and the driver can therefore be downloaded free of charge from the Evolis Web site
