Zebra ZC300 Single Sided Photo ID System

No matter what type of card you need to print — from identity and access to membership, event and credit/debit cards — the ZC300 will help you do it better, faster and easier. If you can dream it, you can print it — color, black and white or metallic, you can even embed security marks on the fly — a first for a printer in this price point. Add a magnetic stripe or create a contact or contactless card. No matter how complex your cards are, the ZC300 makes it easy — Zebra’s Industrial Design team has elegantly engineered the ZC300 to address and eliminate virtually all pain points associated with card printing. And with a ground-breaking fits-everywhere design, you can get secure card printing wherever you need it. The ZC300 Series — complex card printing made easy.

Highly graphical LED/LCD interface

The ZC300 offers highly-intuitive well-tested icons, animations and text-based messages in your own language to allow any user to easily understand what the printer needs and how to perform virtually any function, including how to clear a printer jam, fix a ribbon, load a ribbon or cards and more.

A new ingenious card feeder handles varying card thickness on-the-fly

The card feeder instantly adjusts to the thickness of each card — no more guessing and adjusting for different card stocks.

Painless plug-and-play deployment

The ZC300 is designed to work right out of the box. There’s no time-consuming complicated set-up — just plug it in and start reaping the benefits the day your printer arrives.

AES data encryption

Government-grade encryption protects the most sensitive data during printing, such as account numbers.
