About Zebra ID Printers
One of the foremost names in secure identification card printing technology and application is Zebra Technologies. More than 1.5 million identification cards printed each business day are made by Zebra ID printers. Zebra manufactures a wide range of identification printers with a variety of features. Economy models are ideal for simple laminated card printing for routine identification applications such as membership cards, school ID cards and other uses which do not specifically require two-sided printing or high volume processing.
Industrial models designed for high volume institutional use can create critical security identification cards with embedded magnetic strips, RFID smart chips, holographic retransfer multiple laminate ID and access cards for Government and high security environments such as airports and secure facilities.
High-value models are available which have options to include one- or two-sided printing, embedded photographs and outstanding graphics rendering that are ideal for low volume processing. Feature-laden
with a quality name-brand camera, computer-aided graphics design
templates, USB connectivity, 1D bar-coding and ISO-compliant magnetic
strip encoding and a generous software suite make for a virtual turnkey
ID card solutions.
Mobile solutions for on-site labeling are also available.
Industrial high-security tamper-resistant models are ideal for the most stringent applications. More than 25 million drivers licenses were printed on Zebra printers last year. Lockable card feeders and password protection are some visible deterrents to tampering or abuse. Software tracking and controls can be set up to audit use or document misuse of the printer. High volume printing of nearly three dual-sided cards per minute – 170 per hour – ensure high productivity and effective time management by reducing wait time during production. Retransfer plastic laminate technology produces printed plastic card media between laminate layers, providing enhanced security and allows three-dimensional objects such as magnetic strips or RFID chips to be integrated with the human-readable or machine readable 1D and 2D bar encoding. As with all Zebra ID printer solutions, a complete connectivity and software suite complements the product.
Zebra ID printer technology is far more than just the printer. It is a complete identification solution, seamlessly incorporating hardware, software and connectivity with the highest quality media production inks, laminates, inserts and photographic rendition for the highest quality images with exceptional durability and longevity. Zebra Technologies ID printers are the cost-effective solution for identification required to exceed the highest standards now and into the future.
