MUMBAI, INDIA: Zebra Technologies announced the launch of Zebra ZXP series 8. The retransfer printer offers a host of options for smart card encoding and networking, making it ideal for applications such as high security ID cards, driver's licenses, gift cards and financial cards.

The Zebra ZXP series 8 produces photo-quality cards at nearly twice the speed of other retransfer printers currently on the market.

It delivers photo quality, high speed printing on many different types of cards, including those with uneven surfaces, such as smart cards, polycarbonate cards for security applications and biopolymer cards. The printer is available in single and dual-sided printing configurations, with a full portfolio of magnetic encoding, smart card encoding, single and dual-sided lamination and connectivity options.

Ram Ramaprasad, director-Product Management, Zebra Technologies stated, “Industry adoption of retransfer printing has been slow, in part, because of slow print speeds and high costs.Zebra developed the ZXP series 8 printer to respond to the industry's need for an on-demand retransfer printer capable of delivering higher print speeds at lower costs without sacrificing the image quality. Zebra also developed the ZMotif software platform, to make application integration easier than ever.”

“The ZXP series 8 is designed to significantly improve the efficiency and security of today's enterprises. The printer comes with a XML-based software development kit that supports a broad array of features and technologies, making it easier and faster for enterprises to integrate the device with host of other applications. With the ZXP series 8 printer in place, corporations, businesses and organizations can now take advantage of the benefits of retransfer printing and deploy high-quality ID cards without compromising security,” said Andrew Tay, president-APAC, Zebra Technologies.
