Professional Dual-Sided Card Printing

The ZC300 is designed to print single- or dual-sided cards with edge-to-edge coverage. Dual-sided printing is particularly useful when additional information needs to be placed on the reverse side of an identification or access card, helping organizations create more informative cards without increasing the card size.

300 DPI Direct-to-Card Printing

With 300 dpi print resolution, the ZC300 produces detailed text, graphics, logos, photographs, and other card elements. The direct-to-card dye-sublimation thermal transfer printing system supports both color and monochrome card production depending on the installed ribbon.

1500-Image Monochrome Ribbon

This configuration includes a 1500-image monochrome ribbon, making it suitable for high-volume black-and-white card issuance. Zebra specifies genuine Zebra ribbons for optimum print quality and printer performance, and the ZC300 uses easy-to-load ribbon cartridges with automatic ribbon calibration.

USB and Network Connectivity

The built-in USB 2.0 and 10/100 Ethernet interfaces provide flexible deployment options. USB connectivity can be used for a dedicated card-printing workstation, while Ethernet connectivity allows the printer to be shared across a business network where multiple authorized users require access to card printing.

Easy Operation and Card Handling

The ZC300 features a graphical color LCD interface and automatic card feeder adjustment to simplify everyday operation. The printer supports up to 100 cards in the input hopper and up to 100 cards in the output hopper when using standard 30-mil cards. Manual card feeding is also supported for individual card issuance.

Security and Card Encoding Options

The ZC300 platform supports a range of optional card encoding capabilities depending on the configured hardware, including magnetic stripe, contact, contactless, and other encoding technologies. The printer also incorporates security features such as printer-host authentication and data encryption for environments where card data requires additional protection.

Why Choose Zebra ZC300

The Zebra ZC300 combines professional card-printing quality, dual-sided functionality, flexible connectivity, and straightforward operation in a compact desktop design. Its 300 dpi resolution, edge-to-edge printing, 100-card hoppers, USB and Ethernet connectivity, and support for multiple card technologies make it suitable for organizations that need dependable card issuance for identification, access control, membership, and other applications.

Important Considerations

The included 1500-image ribbon is a monochrome ribbon configuration. Color card printing requires the appropriate compatible Zebra color ribbon. Ribbon image capacity varies depending on the ribbon type and printing configuration.

The ZC300 is designed for compatible CR80 ISO 7810 ID-1 and CR79 cards with supported thicknesses of 10–40 mil. For optimum print quality and printer performance, Zebra recommends using genuine Zebra card-printing supplies.

Optional encoding functions such as magnetic stripe, contact, contactless, or other card technologies depend on the specific hardware configuration and installed options. They should not be assumed to be included unless explicitly specified with the supplied unit.

Actual print throughput can vary depending on the card design, printing mode, computer configuration, ribbon type, and workload. Zebra's published maximum throughput figures are based on batch printing conditions.
