How Smart Cut Lamination Works 1. Card Prints Your Avansia or Agilia retransfer printer prints the card design at 600 dpi resolution with full edge-to-edge coverage. 2. Card Transfers The printed card moves from the printer into the CLM lamination module via the infrared communication link. 3. Patch Positions The smart cut patch aligns precisely over the card, with the cutout centered over the contact chip location. 4. Heat Applies The CLM applies heat and pressure to bond the 1.0 mil patch permanently to the card surface. 5. Card Flattens The integrated card flattener ensures your laminated card comes out perfectly flat with no warping or curling. 6. Card Ejects Ready Your smart card ejects with full lamination protection and an exposed, fully functional contact chip.

This lets you laminate for durability while keeping the chip fully accessible and functional. Full patches cover the entire card surface and are designed for cards without contact chips, like contactless-only cards or cards with no embedded technology. Is Specialist ID an authorized Evolis dealer? ▼ Yes. Specialist ID is an authorized dealer for Evolis ID card printers and consumables in the United States. All laminates are genuine Evolis High Trust products, properly stored, and guaranteed fresh for optimal performance and full warranty protection. Can I use this with my Primacy 2 or Zenius printer? ▼ No. The LPS071NAA is specifically designed for the Avansia and Agilia retransfer printers with the CLM (Card Lamination Module). Primacy 2 uses different laminate part numbers. If you have a Primacy 2 with lamination, look for LPS030NAA or LPS034NAA depending on your thickness preference. Contact us if you need help finding the right laminate for your printer. How many cards will one roll laminate? ▼ Each LPS071NAA roll contains 600 patches. If you're laminating one side of each card, you'll get 600 cards per roll. If you're laminating both sides, you'll get 300 cards per roll. The smart cut design is for single-side lamination only since you only need to protect one side while leaving the chip accessible. What makes 1.0 mil thicker than 0.5 mil and why does it matter? ▼ The 1.0 mil (25 micron) patch is twice as thick as the 0.5 mil option. This extra thickness provides more scratch resistance, better abrasion protection, and extends card life up to 10 years instead of 3-5 years. Choose 1.0 mil when your cards will see heavy daily use or need to last for multiple years. The 0.5 mil option works well for lighter-use applications or when you want a thinner feel. Does lamination affect how the smart chip works? ▼ Not at all. The smart cut design specifically leaves the contact chip area uncovered. Your chip readers will make full contact with the chip pads exactly as they would on an unlaminated card. The rest of the card surface gets complete protection while the chip remains fully functional. What types of cards work with this laminate? ▼ The LPS071NAA works with PVC, composite PVC, PET, and polycarbonate cards. For retransfer printing and lamination, we recommend composite PVC/PET cards because they handle the high heat better than standard PVC. Standard PVC cards work but may not be ideal for the lamination process. How should I store unused laminate rolls? ▼ Store unopened rolls in a cool, dry place at 5-25°C (41-77°F) with 50-70% relative humidity. Keep them away from direct sunlight, dust, and chemicals. Unopened rolls last up to one year when stored properly. Once opened, use within three months for best results. Can I add holographic security to the other side of the card? ▼ Yes. Many organizations use the LPS071NAA smart cut on the chip side and a holographic patch like the LPS033NAA on the back side. This gives you chip accessibility, full card protection, and visual security verification all in one card. Do I need to clean my laminator when changing rolls? ▼ Evolis recommends regular cleaning for optimal performance and to maintain your warranty.
