The Evolis R4213 is a specialised security ribbon designed to apply a "Globe" design hologram over your printed plastic cards. This ribbon provides an immediate layer of security and authenticity to your identification, making cards significantly harder to forge, alter, or tamper with.

As a Continuous Varnish ribbon, the R4213 applies a transparent holographic film across the entire surface of the card. The "Globe" pattern becomes visible when the card is tilted in the light, providing a professional and secure finish without the high costs or lead times associated with custom-designed holographic laminates. With a yield of 400 cards per roll, it is an efficient solution for organisations looking to upgrade their card security protocols.

Printer Compatibility

The R4213 is a genuine consumable compatible with several generations of 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

• Enhanced Visual Security: The holographic "Globe" design provides an instant, easy-to-verify security feature that deters unauthorised card reproduction and cloning.

• Full-Surface Coverage: Applies a continuous holographic varnish over the entire card surface, ensuring the design and data are protected from edge to edge.

• 400 Card Capacity: A high-yield roll that offers excellent value for money while maintaining a high level of security across medium-to-large batches of cards.

• Durability & Protection: Beyond its security benefits, the varnish layer acts as a protective shield against UV fading and daily surface abrasion, extending the overall lifespan of the card.

• Standardised Design: Features a globally recognised globe pattern that is suitable for a wide range of industries, from corporate offices to government agencies.

Typical Applications

• Official Identification: Add a layer of trust and authenticity to government-issued or corporate ID cards.

• High-Security Access Control: Use holographic overlays to help security personnel quickly identify genuine credentials at a distance.

• Student & Faculty Cards: Prevent the unauthorised duplication of university or college badges.

• Membership & Event Passes: Ensure that exclusive passes for conferences, festivals, or private clubs cannot be easily forged.

Maintenance Advice

To ensure the holographic film adheres perfectly to the card surface and to prevent any "flaking" or bubbles, it is essential to keep your printer rollers clean. We highly recommend performing a full cleaning cycle using a genuine cleaning kit every time you install a new R4213 ribbon.
