Evolis Zenius Expert Single-Sided ID Card Printer

The Evolis Zenius Compact is a professional desktop card printer engineered for reliable, high-quality single-sided ID and membership card production in office, education, retail and small to medium enterprise environments. Combining 300 dpi dye‑sublimation and resin thermal transfer technologies, the Compact delivers edge‑to‑edge color and sharp monochrome output while supporting common card formats and materials for versatile use. Designed for straightforward integration, it offers USB and Ethernet connectivity, optional encoders for magnetic, contact and contactless RFID cards, and a compact footprint with intuitive feeding to minimize operator training and maintain consistent, cost‑effective throughput for controlled print volumes.

Key Features

• High-resolution output: 300 dpi dye‑sublimation and resin thermal transfer printing produce crisp photos, text and barcodes suitable for secure IDs and badges.
• Flexible encoding options: Supports magnetic stripe, contact chip and contactless (RFID) encoders for secure credential issuance and access control workflows.
• Compact, quiet design: Small footprint with low operating noise (around 46 dB(A)) makes it suitable for reception desks, offices and retail points of service.
• Easy integration: USB and Ethernet connectivity with cross‑platform driver support (Windows, Mac, Linux) enables fast deployment in mixed IT environments.
• Efficient consumable use: Supports standard YMCKO and monochrome ribbons with proven roll capacities to keep running costs predictable for low‑to‑medium volumes.
