Unlike traditional direct-to-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 leave a white border at the edges of the card
• The ability to print on both PVC and non-PVC cards. Direct-to-card
printers require a dye-receiving surface available only with PVC cards
• More durable and abrasion-resistant cards
• Fraud protection, since the film is inherently tamper-evident
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
other 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.
Advantages of Zebra’s innovative retransfer card printer
Innovative hardware matched
with innovative software
The Zebra Series 8 printer is
based on leading-edge software
technology that enables high-
performance printing and meets
demanding enterprise needs
for application integration
and management.
ZMotif, Zebra’s XML standards-
based printer and job-control
software platform, 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 ZXP 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 ZXP Series 8 printers are really
straightforward, whether by a single
user or via advanced multiple-printer
configurations management.
