The Evolis Print Service app is a mobile printing solution designed specifically for Evolis ID card printers. It lets users print directly from their smartphones or tablets to any supported Evolis printer. This app is especially useful for environments where quick, on-the-go printing is necessary, such as events, offices, or educational institutions.

It's a seamless way to integrate mobile technology into your card printing processes, offering simplicity, flexibility, and ease of use.

How Does the Evolis Print Service App Work?

The process to start printing with the Evolis Print Service app is incredibly simple and can be completed in just three easy steps:

Step 1: Download the App

The app is free and available for download from both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Once installed, the app is ready to use and designed to be intuitive for all users.

Step 2: Connect Your Printer

After downloading the app, the next step is connecting your Evolis printer to your mobile device. The app automatically detects available printers on your network. Alternatively, you can manually add printers by entering their IP address. There is also the option to connect directly via USB, providing flexibility for different printing setups.

Step 3: Print in CR80 Format

Now you're ready to print! Using the print function on your mobile device, you can easily print in the credit-card sized CR80 format. This makes it simple to create personalized cards, from ID badges to access passes, all directly from your smartphone or tablet.

Features and Customization

The Evolis Print Service app doesn't just make printing easier; it also provides several customization options, ensuring the final product meets your specifications. From your mobile device, you can access the same print settings you'd expect on a computer:

  • Choice of ribbon type for different card designs
  • Management of card input and output for smoother operation
  • Printing resolution adjustments for high-quality output
  • Double-sided printing for full-card design
  • Color profile application for accurate color reproduction

These options make the Evolis Print Service app adaptable to a variety of printing needs, whether you're working with basic ID cards or more complex designs.

This makes the app highly versatile for both professional and personal use.

In addition, the app allows users to connect and manage multiple printers, either via automatic search or by entering their printer's IP address. It's just as easy to delete linked printers when no longer needed, offering great flexibility for users in different environments.
