- Smart card contact and contactless encoders
- UHF Gen 2 RFID encoder
- Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless connectivity
Security features
- Laminator module option for single- or dual-sided
lamination
- Transfer film easily shows tamper evidence for
built-in fraud protection
- Lockable enclosure and card feeder prevents
unauthorized use
- Kensington® lock slot to secure printer to work
environment
Innovative hardware matched
with innovative software
The Zebra ZXP Series 8 printer is based on new leading-edge
software technology that enables high-performance printing
and meets demanding enterprise needs for application
integration and management.
ZMotif, Zebra’s new XML standards-based printer and job
control software language, delivers the benefits of card
printing transparently via Windows® certified drivers, along
with an advanced Software Development Kit (SDK) and
development tools for application integration and printer
management.
The new Zebra ZMotif toolbox application provides a
complete management console for advanced printer and driver
configuration and management. Features such as user
role-based driver password protection, configuration save
and restore capability, print logging, and a library suite
of test cards, ensure that setup and management of Zebra ZXP
Series 8 printers are a snap—whether by a single user or via
advanced multiple printer configurations management.
About the retransfer
printing technology
Unlike traditional dye sublimation card printers, which use
a printhead that prints through a ribbon directly onto the
card, retransfer printers print onto a flexible, transparent
film that is then thermally bonded to the card. In general,
benefits of retransfer printing include:
- Higher image quality and print resolution
- The ability to print on uneven card surfaces such as
smart cards
- True edge-to-edge printing (via over-the-edge
printing). Traditional card printers must leave a white
border because printing out to the edge would damage the
printhead.
- The ability to print on non-PVC cards. Dye
sublimation requires a porous surface available only
through PVC cards.
- More durable and abrasion-resistant cards
- Fraud protection, since the film is inherently
tamper-evident
Advantages of Zebra's
innovative retransfer card printer
Zebra’s ZXP Series 8 printer achieves the fastest print
speed while maintaining top image quality, making it the
best-in-class retransfer printer available on the market.
- Zebra achieves print speeds that far exceed any
retransfer printer, and that are comparable to many of
the fastest direct-to-card printers on the market today.
- Zebra's image-processing technology compensates for
image errors normally caused by high printing
speeds—enabling photo-quality images and print
resolution even at increased print speeds.
- Zebra's patent-pending simultaneous dual-sided image
transfer process applies film to both sides of the card
in a single pass, drastically reducing the print time.
- The result is photo-like image quality and
best-in-class throughput for mainstream printing,
encoding and laminating—so you enjoy increased
operational efficiency.
