Get professional, edge-to-edge color or monochrome cards, plus rewritable printing for temporary or frequently updated badges. Available in two versions to fit your workflow: Classic (USB only, SKU: ZN2-0001-A) and Expert (USB + Ethernet with optional encoders, SKU: ZN2-0002).

Built for efficiency: print up to 180 color cards/hour or 700 monochrome cards/hour. Enjoy a smooth user experience with Evolis Premium Suite 2 (Windows/macOS), ID-ALL Starter card design software, quick ribbon access, and flexible feeding (automatic batch or single-card insert).
