New Retransfer Card Printer Brings Competitive Advantages!

Blazin’ Speed AND Quality!

Retransfer printing technology is superior to the previous generation direct-to-card print technology standardly used by Zebra card printers up until now. Direct-to-card technology prints images directly onto the card, while Retransfer technology prints onto a retransfer film that is bonded thermally to the card surface.

A few of the advantages of retransfer printing include superior image quality; true over-the-edge printing for a better looking card and more area to print on; the ability to print on uneven card surfaces (e.g., smart cards) and a wider variety of cards, including non-PVC; and a more durable image that is built-in tamper proof with the use of retransfer film.

Why Zebra is Better: Image Quality and High Throughput!

Until now, retransfer print technology hasn’t been widely accepted due to low print speeds and high print cost. With the help of patent-pending technology, Zebra’s revolutionary ZXP Series 8 retransfer printer line counters these challenges and puts this product far ahead of the competition. Choose from:

• ZXP single-sided ID card printer
• ZXP dual-sided ID card printer
• ZXP dual-sided ID card printer with single-sided lamination
• ZXP dual-sided ID card printer with dual-sided lamination.

ZXP Printer Features:

• Superior image quality Based on Zebra’s image-processing technology, the ZXP Series 8 printer offers photo-quality images and print resolution that beats the competiton.
• Best-in-class throughput Prints and encodes cards two to three times faster than competitors, resulting in increased operational efficiency.
• Patent-pending simultaneous dual-sided image transfer process Applies film to both sides of the card in a single pass, unlike the competition’s retransfer printers, which flip the card over for two passes.
• Efficient landscape printing mode Prints faster (top to bottom-a shorter distance) than printers that print lengthwise.
• Easy printer integration and management Makes custom project implementation faster and easier.
• New ZMotif platform Makes the printer enterprise-ready with software development and printer management tools for easy setup and faster deployment-saving IT time and costs and creating faster ROI.
• MS Windows^® certified drivers Ensure application compatibility, ease of use, and investment protection with existing software and infrastructures.
• USB and 10/100 Ethernet-ready connectivity interfaces Standard for easy integration into local or networked systems.
• Modular design Variety of options such as magnetic stripe encoder, smart card contact or contactless encoder, and other encoding options gives customers the flexibility to add functions as needs change.
• Reliable product with durable construction Includes best-in-class engineering to meet customer demands, and to minimize maintenance requirements and total cost of ownership.
• Genuine Zebra^TM supplies Developed specifically for this printer using our RFID technology to optimize ease of use and allow our partners to create long-term revenue. Printer automatically calibrates “intelligent” i Series^TM Zebra ribbons, films and laminates and is designed for easy ribbon loading-increasing productivity, reducing downtime, and minimizing training.
