Zebra ZC100 ID Card Printer Overview The Zebra ZC100 is a compact, single-sided direct-to-card printer built for organisations that need a reliable, easy-to-use ID card solution without complexity.

Colour cards print at 150 per hour, so a busy reception desk or HR team can keep up with demand without waiting around. Monochrome output reaches 700 cards per hour. Full-colour printing uses a YMCKO ribbon for photo ID badges and branded cards. The five panels cover yellow, magenta, cyan, black and a protective overlay. Monochrome printing covers text-only passes, access cards and anything where colour isn't needed, at a much faster rate. The ZC100 prints edge to edge on standard CR-80 stock, so your design runs to the card border with no white margin. The 100-card input and output hoppers mean you can run a batch and step away. If you need to print a single card outside of a batch, the manual feed slot handles it directly. An LED bezel guides the card in, so the process is straightforward even for staff who aren't regular users. Connectivity, Encoding and Fit-Everywhere Design The ZC100 is slim enough to sit on a reception desk or in a shared office without dominating the workspace, and its clean lines make it presentable in customer-facing areas. USB 2.0 is standard, with Ethernet as an optional upgrade. It connects the printer to your network so you can manage card printing from a separate workstation. Wi-Fi is also available as an option. If a cable run isn..

Zebra ZC300 ID Card Printer Overview The Zebra ZC300 is a direct-to-card ID card printer built for organisations that need reliable, high-quality plastic card production in-house. It is available in single-sided and dual-sided configurations, so whether you're issuing staff badges, membership cards, event passes or access control credentials, the ZC300 is designed to handle the job without fuss.

Single-sided, it prints up to 200 full-colour YMCKO cards per hour and up to 900 monochrome cards per hour. The dual-sided model adds an integrated card flipper for automatic two-sided printing, with throughput of 140 YMCKOK colour cards per hour and 450 monochrome cards per hour. Both hoppers hold 100 cards and adjust automatically to card thickness, so switching between 10 mil and 30 mil stock does not require manual reconfiguration. A manual feed slot with LED guidance handles individual cards when you need to print one at a time. Connectivity and encoding options Standard connectivity is USB 2.0 and built-in Ethernet 10/100, which means the ZC300 can sit on your network and serve multiple workstations without additional hardware. Wi-Fi (802.11ac) is available as a field-upgradeable option if a wired connection is not practical. Encoding is modular. The base printer ships without encoding, which keeps the cost down for organisations that only need printed cards. Magnetic stripe encoding (ISO 7811, tracks 1, 2 and 3; high and low coercivity) is available as a field upgrade, meaning you can add it later without replacing the printer. Contactless and smart card encoding options are also available for more complex card programmes. Security built into the hardware The ZC300 includes printer-to-host authentication and AES data encryption, so the print stream between your computer and the printer is protected. A Kensington lock slot lets you physically secure the printer in shared or public-facing workspaces. A locking card hopper deters opportunistic theft of card stock and rejec..

Magicard 300 ID Card Printer Overview The Magicard 300 is a direct-to-card ID card printer built for organisations printing up to 10,000 plastic cards a year. Schools, colleges, membership bodies and medium-sized businesses use it to produce full-colour photo ID cards and staff badges in-house, with security features that protect against counterfeiting built in as standard.

A full-colour single-sided card takes 23 seconds, giving you 160 cards per hour on colour runs. Monochrome jobs run considerably faster at 720 cards per hour, making it practical for large batches of text-only or single-colour membership cards and visitor passes. The 100-card input hopper keeps the printer fed during batch runs without needing attention, and the 70-card output stacker collects finished cards neatly. A hand-feed slot handles one-off prints and rewritable card jobs without disturbing the loaded hopper. Card security: HoloKote® and Digital Shredding The Magicard 300 includes two built-in security layers to protect your data and your physical ID cards. HoloKote® prints a transparent watermark across the surface of every card during the normal print cycle, using the overlay panel of your YMCKO or YMCKOK ribbon so no extra consumables are needed. The printer comes with three standard watermark designs, and you can add custom designs based on your organisation's own logo or security artwork. The watermark is visible when the card is tilted in the light, making duplicated or doctored cards easy to spot. Digital Shredding addresses a less obvious risk: personal data held in printer memory after a job completes. Once the Magicard 300 has used that data to print, it fragments and disperses it so that it cannot be recovered. For organisations subject to UK GDPR obligations around personal data, this is a pract..

Zebra ZC350 ID Card Printer Overview The Zebra ZC350 card printer is a direct-to-card printer built for organisations that need fast, consistent, high-quality ID cards in volume. Available in single-sided and dual-sided configurations, it suits card programmes printing several hundred to several thousand cards a year. It is well suited to a reception desk, a back office or any space with a network connection.

Dye panels on the ribbon transfer colour directly into the card surface, and a resin layer on the same ribbon lays down sharp black text and precise barcodes on top. Together they produce edge-to-edge print at 300 dpi across any standard CR80 card. Thanks to this print technology, the ZC350 printer is well suited to cards carrying small fonts, QR codes or close-cropped photographs, as all three resolve cleanly. Card output At 225 cards per hour single-sided, the ZC350 handles a busy card programme without becoming a bottleneck. Monochrome output reaches 1,000 cards per hour, which makes it a practical choice for any site printing large runs of access badges in black resin. Speciality ribbons The ZC350 is compatible with ribbons beyond standard YMCKO. A long-life overlay ribbon adds a protective layer that extends card durability to three to five years and can embed a watermark visible only under UV or when the card is tilted. A pearlescent ribbon embeds colour-shifting graphics that are difficult to replicate, and a metallic colour ribbon produces 3D-style text and logo effects. These options give cards a layer of visual security without requiring a separate laminator. ..

Magicard 600 ID Card Printer Overview The Magicard 600 is a direct-to-card ID card printer built for organisations that run a continuous, high-volume card programme. It prints up to 190 full-colour cards per hour, carries built-in anti-fraud security as standard and is manufactured in the UK by Magicard, the only plastic card printer manufacturer based in Britain. If your organisation issues more than 10,000 cards a year, or runs a busy team that needs cards turned around quickly, this is the printer built for that workload. It is available in single-sided and dual-sided configurations, with optional encoding upgrades that can be added at any point.

Print quality and speed for a working card programme A full-colour card with a HoloKote® watermark takes around 19 seconds. At that pace, the Magicard 600 produces up to 190 cards per hour, enough to handle a large new-starter intake or a scheduled card renewal without the printer becoming a bottleneck. The colour resolution is 300 dpi, which gives you crisp photo IDs and solid branding. Switch to the 600 x 300 dpi resin-only mode and text stays readable down to 5-point type, so barcodes, micro-text and reference numbers come out cleanly even at very small sizes. For monochrome-only jobs, the 600 produces around 720 cards per hour. Single-sided or dual-sided The printer ships as single-sided, with dual-sided printing available as an upgrade. A dual-sided setup lets you put the cardholder's photo, name and role ..
