Evolis Zenius ID Card Printer

Evolis printers are known in the ID card industry for their inventive printer designs. With the Evolis Zenius single-sided ID card printer, Evolis combines their spirit of innovation with flexible and easy-to-use functionality.

Evolis Zenius Key Features
  • Printing Capability: Single-sided
  • Print Technology: Dye sublimation
  • Print Speed: Full color cards in 30 seconds, monochrome in 11
  • Input/Output Hopper: 50/20
  • Warranty: 2 years
Easy-to-use ID Card Printer

The Zenius prints with impressive speed. The printer produces 120 to 150 color cards per hour and 400 to 500 monochrome cards per hour. With a 300 dpi print head, the Evolis ID card printer delivers edge-to-edge full-color printing. An LED display increases the ease of use of the printer, displaying status messages.

With the Evolis Zenius, you can choose between automated or manual feeding. The input and output hoppers are located in the front of the printer allowing the Zenius to easily fit in a corner if needed.

The Zenius uses Evolis High Trust printer ribbons. A chip in the ribbon identifies the ribbon to the printer, adjusting the printing settings and making the ribbon cartridges less error prone.

Mac & Linux Compatibility

A major advantage of Evolis printers is compatibility with Mac and Linux operating systems. The Evolis Zenius has options for both Max and Linux drivers if needed. While not all card design software can work with Mac or Linux drivers, you will still be able to design and print cards with the Zenius.

Zenius Printer Warranty

The Evolis Zenius ID card printer comes with a two year manufacturer warranty.
