With Tattoo RW, your cards are updated whenever required, while a same card can be erased, revised and printed anew up to 500 times.

Flexibility
You can deliver a new card anytime it is required! The erase/write cycle is extremely fast and you can erase, encode, and reprint new data in a matter of seconds.

A cost-efficient solution
This revolutionary rewritable technology requires no ribbon, which translates into valuable savings. No need to throw away your cards each time you need an update: erase and reprint only updated data on your existing card!

Environmental-friendly
Tattoo RW adheres to sustainable development. It uses rewritable cards and requires no ribbon: Tattoo RW helps you reduce your environmental footprint.

Data updates
Now with Tattoo RW, data encoded on magnetic stripes or on contactless chips can also be displayed and updated on the card surface. For example, loyalty points can be printed on a card and updated at each checkout.

HOW DOES IT WORK?Tattoo RW is a ribbon-free printer that uses rewritable cards. Such cards contain a thermochromatic material that turns visible, or vanishes, according to the applied temperature.

This reversible process makes it possible to erase and print on the same card up to 500 times.

Your card turns into a powerful medium that displays temporary or updatable data such as bonus points and special offers on a loyalty card, or the name and relevant details of visitors on a corporate badge.
