13/10/2011 - EVOLIS PREMIUM SUITE® A new Software Suite for Evolis Card Printers

France, Octobre 2011. Evolis, a leading manufacturer of plastic card personalization solutions, introduces Evolis Premium Suite®, a software-based offering available for the new range of Evolis desktop card printers.

As a forerunner in designing solutions for seamless integration of card printers in multiple environments (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux), Evolis is committed to providing users with more freedom, and now offers a -friendly experience at the user’s desktop itself.

Evolis Premium Suite® now brings a set of software tools that support card personalization from end to end, with a clear emphasis on simplicity and a user-focused approach.

Evolis Premium Suite® is much more than a driver as it provides 4 software layers with targeted features:

Printer Driver. Enables two-way communication and synchronization between the PC and the printer
Language Monitor. Facilitates dialog between the print manager and the Evolis Print Center
Evolis Print Center. An advanced tool for system configuration, printer management and monitoring of printing jobs
Evolis Printer Manager. Constantly provides user notification, especially in case of an error or alarm.

With Evolis Premium Suite® , the printer configuration process is fully automated in more than 90% of all identified use cases. The dialog between the printer and the PC is monitored so that users are aware of the printer’s status: type of ribbon installed, alarms, errors, print jobs in progress, and more. A permanent support, available locally or online, provides a simpler alternative to support services that may be delivered over phone.

When designing Evolis Premium Suite® , emphasis was laid on ensuring that this application supports all existing and emerging operating systems. This open approach guarantees a scalable and platform-independent offering, which enhances interoperability with any
hardware that may be used in the future (servers, desktop, smartphones, tablets, and others).
