Evolis Zenius Plastic Card Printer
The Evolis Zenius Classic Fire Red ID Card Printer is a compact, single-sided desktop printer for organisations that need to produce staff ID cards, visitor badges and membership cards in-house.
Manufactured by Evolis, the Zenius Classic uses direct-to-card printing technology to produce full-colour plastic cards at 300 dpi. It supports speeds of up to 150 full-colour cards per hour and up to 500 monochrome cards per hour, making it suitable for individual card printing and small production batches.
With USB connectivity, automatic and manual card feeding, and a compact desktop design, the Zenius Classic is a practical choice for facilities teams managing everyday ID card requirements.
Key Benefits
Full-Colour ID Card Printing at 300 dpi
The Evolis Zenius Classic produces single-sided plastic ID cards using dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer technology.
Its 300 dpi print resolution allows organisations to print card designs containing photographs, names, company logos and identification details.
The printer supports edge-to-edge printing and can produce both full-colour and monochrome cards.
Fast Printing for Everyday ID Card Issuance
The Zenius Classic delivers manufacturer-rated printing speeds of:
Up to 150 full-colour cards per hour using a YMCKO ribbon
Up to 500 monochrome cards per hour
These speeds make it suitable for facilities teams that need to print new employee cards, replace lost badges or prepare small batches of identification cards.
Actual printing times depend on the card design, ribbon and printing conditions.
Compact Desktop Design
The Zenius Classic is designed for desktop use, making it suitable for offices and reception environments where space is limited.
This is particularly useful for organisations that want to print ID cards internally without allocating a large area to printing equipment.
Automatic and Manual Card Feeding
The Zenius Classic supports both automatic and manual card feeding.
The automatic input feeder holds up to 50 standard 0.76 mm cards, with a 20-card output hopper for completed cards.
Manual feeding provides flexibility when printing individual cards or using supported card types for specific identification requirements.
This allows organisations to manage both occasional card printing and small production batches.
USB Connectivity
The Evolis Zenius Classic connects to a computer using USB.
This provides a straightforward connection for an individual card printing workstation.
The standard Classic model does not include Ethernet connectivity. Organisations requiring network connectivity should consider a suitable Zenius Expert configuration.
Two-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty
The Evolis Zenius Classic includes a two-year manufacturer’s warranty covering the printer and printhead, subject to Evolis warranty conditions.
Regular cleaning and use of compatible consumables are important for maintaining the printer and meeting applicable warranty requirements.
