With the launch of a new product and enhancements to an existing one, Zebra Technologies Corporation has rounded out its Zebra ZXP card printers printers portfolio. The newly created and updated products solve specific problems for customers, including distributed printing of high-quality cards used for membership, identification, and other uses. "Our customers' needs are constantly evolving, and the recent enhancements and completion of the ZXP Series portfolio are in response to listening to our customers' needs for a full product portfolio," said Keith LeFebvre, vice president of product marketing and management for Zebra Technologies. "These latest updates align with Zebra's commitment to provide printing solutions that not only deliver a quality end product, but increased efficiencies, network connectivity and advanced technology capabilities."

New capabilities in the Zebra ZXP Series 3

The ZXP Series 3 professional printer was significantly upgraded with new features. Designed for medium to higher-volume applications requiring either single- or dual- sided printing, the ZXP Series 3 now has expanded card support, improved monochrome print quality and a lower cost per card. Reduced expenses are the result of higher capacity, eco-friendly Load-N-Go smart ribbons that use less plastic and more biodegradable material. The ZXP Series 3 printer also has enhanced end-user support with the addition of Print Touch, a real-time troubleshooting tool. Users can hold a phone enabled with Near Field Communications (NFC) up to the printer to launch web-based product information and support pages. Alternately, if a user does not have a smartphone with NFC capabilities, a QR code can be scanned for the same quick access to help and information.
