Zebra’s ZXP Series 7 Card Printer: What You Should Know

Zebra’s ZXP Series 7 card printers have been a hugely popular choice for enterprise ID card printing, and if you’re in the market for a high-capacity card printer with fast print speeds, outstanding print quality, and flexibility for a wide range of applications, these printers are a prime option to consider.

In this quick overview, we’ll share everything you should know about ZXP Series 7 printers so you can decide if these printers are right for you and whether it makes sense to buy.

Robust Direct-to-Card Enterprise Printing

ZXP Series 7 printers are built for the enterprise and for faster and higher-volume card printing with options for both single-sided and dual-sided printing and lamination. They print direct-to-card for fast print speeds with a robust design that works out of the box in a wide range of environments and applications.

Superior Photo-Print Quality

Even though the ZXP Series 7 printers are built for robust enterprise use and high-capacity printing, they still produce exceptional color depth using photo print quality using photo print technology. You also get edge-to-edge card printing with optional lamination to help secure your cards and lengthen the life of your card images.

Time-Saving Simplicity

A big focus for the ZXP Series 7 is simplicity, so Zebra designed these printers with a number of time-saving features that make the whole printing process much easier and more efficient for the user. The printer automatically adjusts for the thickness of your cards, and ribbon loading is extremely easy with color-coded guides and a simplified process. There’s also a clear LCD control panel with intuitive instructions.

High Speeds and Capacity with Minimal Loading and Maintenance

A big advantage with the ZXP Series 7 is that up to 3 cards from a single print job can be in process at the same time, including simultaneous encoding, printing and dual-sided lamination. You can print up to 300 single-sided full-color cards per hour or 225 dual-sided cards with color on the front and black-and-white on the back. If you’re printing in monochrome, you can print up to an amazing 1,375 cards per hour.

The printer’s input hopper has a 250-card capacity and its output hopper has a 100-card output hopper capacity to help with faster and more efficient printing. With Zebra’s True ix Series YMCKO and YMCKOK ribbons, you also get capacity of up to 750 card images per roll, and you can even get up to 5000 images per roll when you’re printing in monochrome.

Ribbon and laminate rolls are synchronized as well, and since ribbon loading is guided and so simple, you’ll spend less time loading and maintaining your printer and print jobs.

Flexible Options and Adaptability

Another big advantage of the ZXP Series 7 is flexibility and adaptability. With this printer series, Zebra offers a number of options to meet different card printing needs. These include:

• Single- or dual-sided printing
• UHF, magnetic stripe, contact and contactless encoding options
• Wasteless single- or dual-sided lamination
• An optional internal barcode code reader
• Ability to field upgrade from single sided to dual sided printing with a simple firmware upgrade
• A variety of color and monochrome ribbon options

The ZXP Series 7 Pro

For more advanced and high-volume big enterprise needs, Zebra offers the ZXP Series 7 Pro printer, which uses a mechanical FIFO output hopper that allows the printer to keep the cards in the order they printed, all while maintaining excellent print quality and near-photographic color depth. The larger 250 card output hopper is excellent for larger batch orders and service bureau work.

With the ZXP Series 7 Pro, you can print almost any plastic ID card type with up to 300 dpi resolution. It also comes with a standard magnetic stripe encoder.
