Zebra ZC300 Dual Sided ID Card Printer

Whatever your business’ card printing needs are, it’s all about efficiency, ease of use, and security. The ZC300 is a printer that delivers all of those in droves with and is built with the user, and organization, in mind. From seamlessly integrating with your infrastructure to minimizing time and effort spent on maintenance, the ZC300 dual-sided printer is both a printer and an operations facilitator in one.

Seamless integration into your organization

You can connect your ZC300 to your organization’s network using standard USB and Ethernet connections as well as optional WiFi. Your printer(s) can then be managed from multiple computers on or off-site. Print Touch allows you to access your printer from Android devices for troubleshooting and maintenance with a tap.

A printer without the headaches

Setting up a printer used to be a daunting task. However, the ZC300 comes with complete plug-and-play functionality out-of-the-box. Figuring out what’s going on with your printer or print job is no longer a guessing game with its user-friendly graphical display.

Fast printing for demanding situations

No matter your immediate needs, the ZC300 should get you over the finishing line by printing up to 140 YMCKOK full-color or 450 monochrome cards per hour. A self-adjusting card feeder for different card thicknesses and 100-card input and output hoppers make for a smooth workflow. With the saloon-style output doors, you can easily remove single or multiple cards when you’re done.

Maintenance that anyone can do

Thanks to some user-minded engineering, the ZC300 is incredibly easy to maintain. The ribbon can only be changed in one way with no slack or adjourning spaces to confuse you. The ribbon and door latch can also be opened and closed in one uninterrupted movement.

Even when you need to manually insert a card, a light pipe will guide your every move. Smart cards in the ribbon and the graphical display will inform you of any issues or factors that need your attention.

Security that instills confidence

Printer-to-host authentication prevents unauthorized entities from accessing and using your printer. As a second line of defense, built-in government-grade AES encryption to protect any printing data being intercepted. With this high standard of security, you can use your printer in public spaces without fear.

Encoding options for every situation

The ZC300 comes with support for virtually any type of encoding out-of-the-box. The magnetic stripe, contact, contactless, and smart card encoding options are all available. Through the Print DNA SDK, you can even unlock and use your custom or third-party encoding options.

Software that makes your printer come alive

You get a whole suite of products that add value to your ZC300 printer. CardStudio enables you to design anything from a gift to ID cards and add visual or anti-counterfeit effects. Print DNA is a complete Software Development Kit that you can use to develop your printing applications or integrate with existing ones. The ZC300 is compatible with Apple, Windows, Linux, and Android devices.

Freedom through ergonomic design

The ZC300 is engineered for a modern business with high standards of aesthetics and ergonomics. A slim profile and low clearance mean that the ZC300 will stay out of your way while doing its job.

The unassuming and practical design makes it equally suitable for an office or customer/public-facing environment. This space-conscious printer can fit on your desk, in a kiosk, or in between shelves.

Printing that doesn’t disappoint

This direct to car printer uses thermal dye-sublimation printing to print in brilliant 300 dpi. Unlike other DTC printers, the edge-to-edge technology for standard CR-80 cards allows you to take advantage of the whole surface. Whether for visual effect or anti-fraud, you can print in 3D or using pearlescent color-shifting ribbons. You can also add watermarks or a protective layer for improved durability.
