Zebra ZXP Series 8 Retransfer Printer Launched

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.
