Evolis Pebble 4 ID Card Printer Single-Sided with Magnetic Stripe Encoding - DISCONTINUED Description

The Evolis Pebble ID card printer has been discontinued, and has been replaced with the next generation Evolis Zenius ID card printer.

Please see the Supplies tab for Evolis Pebble-specific supplies and replacement parts. Additionally, if you are looking for user manuals, support, or downloads, please see the Support & Downloads tab for more information.


The Evolis PBL401OCU-B single-sided Pebble 4 printer with magnetic stripe encoding offers precise image definition and quality in one compact solution.

Product Features

  • Sleek and powerful design
    The modern design and aesthetic curves hide an ultra-robust product. The Evolis PBL401OCU-B single-sided printer with mag stripe encoding has the ability to produce 150 full color cards/hour (1000 monochrome cards/hour) with precise image definition and quality. The state-of-the-art printhead and color profile driver tool help you fine tune your colors so that they look as crisp on your cards as they do on-screen.

  • Intuitive user-interface
    The intuitive driver interface makes the Evolis PBL401OCU-B printer with mag encoder easy to install and user-friendly. The Print Manager driver tool along with the four-light LED display guide you swiftly through your print jobs via on-screen prompts and notifications. In addition, it features a clamshell opening that allows easy and fast access to all printer functions, including ribbon installation and routine cleaning.

  • Cost effective supplies
    The Evolis PBL401OCU-B printer is equipped with ribbon saver technology for monochrome printing. With this system, you only use the ribbon length that corresponds to the length of the image to be printed. This feature is unique to the Pebble printer and it allows you to double or even triple the capacity of your monochrome ribbons, reducing the cost per card. A half panel color ribbon is also available, and when used properly, may be up to 42% less expensive than the standard color ribbon. It is the perfect solution to printing a color photograph or logo, and black text on a pre-printed card.

  • Three year warranty
    Evolis is highly committed to the reliability of their card printers. So much so that they have equipped the Pebble with a leading three year warranty. And, that includes the printhead!

  • Free eMedia beginner software
    eMedia Card Designer software is a free addition to the Evolis PBL401OCU-B that allows you to design and edit your badges. eMedia is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP and Vista, and allows connection to Microsoft Excel for database management. It also provides a basic data import/export feature and supports magnetic encoding.

  • Magnetic stripe encoding
    The Evolis PBL401OCU-B comes standard with magnetic stripe encoding. Magnetic stripe encoding is a highly flexible solution for ID card personalization.

  • Optional additional feeder cartridges and manual card feeder
    Additional Evolis Pebble4 card feeder cartridges allow you to stock different card backgrounds and/or thicknesses - according to your needs - or to reduce breaks in production by simply changing an empty feeder for a full one. A manual card feeder option is also available - providing the ability to insert cards one by one.

  • Optional extended warranty and printer loaner plans
    ID Wholesaler's extended warranty plans include toll-free technical support, live chat support, total parts and labor replacement, and fast turn-around on printer repairs. This satisfaction-guaranteed service is handled in-house by our knowledgeable, factory-trained technical support team. Our printer loaner coverage plans provide you with a loaner printer in the event your printer needs to be sent to ID Wholesaler for repair. Printer loaner plans help ensure you won't be without a printer and your card printing can continue uninterrupted. (Add a coverage plan to your printer within the Options tab.)

Ideal Applications

  • ID badges
  • Leisure badges
  • Transit / ticketing cards
  • Membership / loyalty cards
