Zebra ZC300 Single Sided ID Card Printer

Tired of clunky, over-sized, and unattractive card printers? The ZC300 is the answer with a sleek, compact, and unassuming design that makes it look at home in any space.

The ZC300 can comfortably fit everywhere, from the back office to your costumer-facing areas. You can find a place for it even in space-constrained areas like on a desk, shelf, or cupboard.

Seamless integration into your organization

The ZC300 comes with standard ethernet and USB ports for easy integration into your organization's infrastructure. That allows you to manage your printer on-site or remotely via the network using multiple computers for a setup adapted to your needs.

Streamlined and user-friendly operation

From the get-go, the ZC300 removes any obstacles with plug-and-play setup. A graphical user interface means it’s never been simpler to read the status of your job and manage the process.

Efficient and reliable id card printing

Need to print some ID cards in a hurry? The ZC300 can keep up with even the most strenuous demands by printing up to 900 monochrome or 200 single-sided YMCK cards per hour. The ingeniously engineered card feeder will also self-adjust to varying card thickness.

Newly designed 100-card input and output hoppers take the headache out of refilling and unloading cards. On top of that, the output hopper’s saloon doors make for easy offloading of single or multiple cards.

Effortless maintenance

There is only one way to change the printer ribbon, making it a fool-proof and stress-free task. Smart chips in the ribbons will alert you before they are spent, so you don’t face any unexpected downtime.

Need to manually insert a card? The light pipe will guide your every movement to take away any confusion. You don’t need to be a maintenance expert to fix a jam, your printer ribbon, or diagnose issues.

Flexible encoding options

The ZC300 supports virtually any encoding option out-of-the-box. You can create magnetic stripe as well as contact or contactless (with Secure Access Modules) to create access or payment cards. Zip Pocket and the new Software Development Kit allows you to integrate support for other 3rd-party encoder options.

Powerful printer software

With software that’s supported by Apple, Android, and Windows devices, the ZC300 slots into any IT infrastructure with ease. Zebra’s powerful printer operating system, Link-OS for Card Inside, puts you in the driver’s seat.

This family of printer software applications, Print DNA, let’s you effortlessly integrate card printing with your apps and design cards. Managing the printing process and look and feel of your cards from your computer is simple as can be.

Beautiful print quality

Using dye-sublimation thermal direct-to-card printing, the ZC300 can print brilliant full-color images at 300 dpi. With edge-to-edge printing on standard CR-80 cards, you also don’t need to compromise by leaving unprinted edges on your cards. Advanced card production software allows you to print virtually any design you can think of, even with 3D effects.
