The Evolis R4211 is a specialised security ribbon designed to add an essential layer of protection and authenticity to your plastic cards. This ribbon applies a Globe design hologram onto the surface of the card via a clear overlay, making the badge significantly harder to forge or tamper with.

As a genuine Evolis High Trust® consumable, the R4211 provides a dual benefit: it offers high-level visual security through the shifting holographic light effect and provides a protective varnish that shields the printed data from daily wear, scratches, and UV fading. It is the professional choice for organisations where identity verification and fraud prevention are paramount.

Printer Compatibility

The R4211 is a genuine consumable compatible with the following established Evolis printers:

• Evolis Pebble (Pebble 2, Pebble 3, and Pebble 4)

• Evolis Dualys (Dualys 2 and Dualys 3)

• Evolis Quantum and Quantum 2

• Evolis Securion

Key Features & Benefits

• Visual Fraud Deterrence: The "Globe" holographic pattern is visible when the card is tilted in the light, providing an instant method for security staff to verify the card's authenticity.

• Anti-Tamper Protection: Because the hologram is part of the overlay, any attempt to alter the card's details will noticeably damage the holographic layer, highlighting the security breach.

• Extended Card Life: In addition to its security features, the clear varnish acts as a robust protective coating, preventing the underlying print from fading or smudging over time.

• Standard 400 Print Yield: Provides a reliable capacity for small-to-medium batches, ensuring that every card in a run receives a consistent and high-quality finish.

• Over-the-Edge Style: Designed to cover the entire surface of the card, ensuring there are no unprotected edges.

Typical Applications

• Governmental IDs: Used for local authority permits, driving licences, and official certification cards.

• Corporate Security: Ideal for high-security facilities that require multi-level authentication for staff and contractor badges.

• Student Identification: Protects university and college IDs from being easily duplicated or altered by unauthorised individuals.

• High-Value Membership: Adds a prestigious and secure finish to exclusive club memberships and VIP passes.

Maintenance Advice

To ensure the holographic film adheres perfectly to the card surface without bubbles or "silvering," it is vital to keep your printer clean. We recommend performing a full cleaning cycle using an Evolis cleaning kit every time you install a new R4211 ribbon to remove any dust that could interfere with the thermal transfer process.
