Evolis RVA022NAA Generic Globe Hologram Ribbon – 400 Prints – For Zenius & Primacy Printers

The Evolis RVA022NAA is a high-security varnish overlay ribbon designed to provide an advanced layer of protection and authenticity to your plastic cards. This ribbon applies a Generic Globe design hologram across the entire surface of the card, making the badge significantly harder to counterfeit, duplicate, or alter.

As a genuine Evolis High Trust® consumable, the RVA022NAA serves a dual purpose: the holographic effect provides an immediate visual security check for staff and security personnel, while the clear varnish layer acts as a protective shield. This coating prevents the underlying colour or text from fading due to UV exposure and protects the card surface from scratches and daily surface wear.

Printer Compatibility

This ribbon is a dedicated consumable designed for the following Evolis "easy-load" cassette printers:

• Evolis Zenius / Zenius Expert

• Evolis Primacy / Primacy 2

• Evolis Elypso

Key Features & Benefits

• Visual Fraud Prevention: The "Globe" holographic pattern becomes visible when the card is tilted in the light, providing a simple yet effective way to verify the card's authenticity at a glance.

• Anti-Tamper Security: The holographic varnish is thermally bonded to the card. Any attempt to peel or alter the card data will visibly damage the hologram, making tampering immediately apparent.

• Extended Card Durability: The varnish overlay significantly extends the lifespan of the card by providing a robust barrier against physical abrasion, moisture, and chemical contact.

• Smart Detection Technology: The integrated RFID chip allows the printer to instantly recognise the hologram ribbon and automatically adjust the printhead settings for a perfect thermal transfer.

• 400 Print Capacity: A reliable yield that ensures high-security protection remains cost-effective for medium-sized badge production runs.

Typical Applications

• Governmental Permits: Ideal for local council badges, official certificates, and vocational licences.

• Corporate ID Cards: Enhances the security of staff and contractor badges in high-security environments or sensitive commercial facilities.

• Student Identification: Protects university and college IDs from unauthorised duplication and increases the card's resistance to heavy daily use.

• High-Level Membership: Adds a premium, secure finish to VIP club cards, luxury loyalty schemes, and exclusive event accreditation.

Maintenance Advice

To ensure the holographic varnish adheres smoothly without bubbles or dust spots, it is vital to maintain a clean internal printer environment. We highly recommend performing a full cleaning cycle using an Evolis cleaning kit every time you replace the RVA022NAA ribbon to protect the thermal printhead and ensure consistent holographic coverage.
