Evolis Zenius 2 Single Sided Photo ID System

Evolis Zenius 2 Single-Sided ID Card Printer is the compact, reliable, and stylish solution for professional card issuance. Designed for small to medium print volumes, it delivers vibrant, edge-to-edge color or sharp monochrome cards—plus rewritable printing for temporary or frequently updated badges. Choose between two models to suit your setup: Classic (USB only, SKU: ZN2-0001-A) or Expert (USB + Ethernet with optional encoding, SKU: ZN2-0002).

Fast and efficient: print up to 180 color cards or 700 monochrome cards per hour. With Evolis Premium Suite 2 software for Windows and macOS, ID-ALL Starter card design software, quick ribbon installation, and both batch and single-card feeding, the Zenius 2 makes card printing effortless.
