Zebra ZXP Series 8 Retransfer Printer Launched

07 Dec, 2009, 11:35 am IST | tech2 News Staff |

Zebra Technologies Corporation a player in specialty printing and automatic identification solutions, has launched the Zebra ZXP Series 8, a retransfer printer that offers options for smart card encoding and networking making it apt for applications such as high security ID cards, driver’s licenses, gift cards and financial cards.

The the ZXP Series 8 printer delivers photo quality, high speed printing on many different types of cards, including those with uneven surfaces, such as smart cards, polycarbonate cards for security applications and biopolymer cards. The printer is available in single- and dual-sided printing configurations with a full portfolio of magnetic encoding, smart card encoding, single-and dual-sided lamination, and connectivity options.

“Industry adoption of retransfer printing has been slow, in part, because of slow print speeds and high costs,” said Ram Ramaprasad, director of product management for Zebra Technologies. “Zebra developed the ZXP Series 8 printer to respond to the industry’s need for an on-demand retransfer printer capable of delivering higher print speeds at lower costs without sacrificing the image quality. Zebra also developed the ZMotif software platform, to make application integration easier than ever.”

“The ZXP Series 8 is designed to significantly improve the efficiency and security of today’s enterprises” said Andrew Tay, president of Zebra Technologies, Asia Pacific. “The printer comes with a XML-based software development kit that supports a broad array of features and technologies, making it easier and faster for enterprises to integrate the device with host of other applications. With the ZXP Series 8 printer in place, corporations, businesses and organizations can now take advantage of the benefits of retransfer printing and deploy high quality ID cards without compromising security”.

Some of the ZXP Series 8 retransfer printer features include:
  • Photo print quality
  • True over-the-edge printing
  • Ability to print on smart cards or cards with uneven card surfaces
  • Ability to print on non PVC cards such as polycarbonate and biopolymer cards
  • More durable and abrasion resistant cards
  • Some fraud protection since the film is inherently tamper evident
  • XML-based SDK for easier application integration

Standard and optional features of the ZXP Series 8 retransfer printer include: magnetic stripe encoder; combination smart card contact and contactless encoders; contact station; USB or Ethernet connectivity; and security mechanical locks. Planned future options include support for UHF Gen 2 RFID encoder, single- and dual-sided laminator, and 802.11g wireless connectivity.

The Zebra ZXP Series 8 retransfer printer will be sold primarily through Zebra’s channel partners.
