ELEGANTLY ENGINEERED FOR GAME-CHANGING SIMPLICITY

Painless plug-and-play deployment

The ZC100 is designed to work right out of the box. There’s no time-consuming complicated set-up — just plug it in and start reaping the benefits the day your printer arrives.

A new ingenious card feeder handles varying card thickness on-the-fly

The card feeder instantly adjusts to the thickness of each card — no more adjusting for different card stocks.

The most intuitive LEDs

With our well-tested intuitive icons, a quick glance is all it will take for your users to see the status of the ZC100.

Innovative new driver with a graphical user interface

The intuitive interface in the newly-designed driver makes it easier than ever to print cards. Settings are grouped logically into tabs where they are easily accessible with a click. A visual display of your card allows you to instantly see how your card looks and how setting changes impact card design — eliminating the time and cost to repeatedly print test cards.
