Zebra ZC100 ID Card Printer Bundle

The Zebra ZC100 is a single-sided card printer built for low to medium print volumes and this bundle gets you printing on day one: printer, design software, ribbon and blank cards all in one.

What's included in the ZC100 Card Printer Bundle

• Zebra ZC100 single-sided ID card printer
• CardStudio 2.0 card design software
• 200 blank white PVC cards
• Zebra YMCKO full-colour ribbon (200 prints)

We'd recommend picking up an additional printer ribbon and pack of cards while you're here too, as well as some lanyards and card holders. But even if you just buy this bundle, you'll have everything you need to start printing ID cards in your organisation.

Zebra ZC100 Printer Overview

The Zebra ZC100 is a single-sided card printer built for straightforward, low to medium-volume ID card printing. It prints up to 150 full-colour cards an hour at 300dpi onto standard CR80 cards, with a plug-and-play setup and an automatic card feeder that adjusts to different card thicknesses without manual tweaking. Security is built in rather than added on: AES encryption protects card data in transit and printer-to-host authentication stops unauthorised devices sending jobs to it. It's a compact, business-appropriate printer suited to receptions, offices and customer-facing counters alike.

Built-in security features, not bolted on

This Zebra printer has advanced security features such as "government-grade encryption" data protection. AES encryption protects card data as it's sent to the printer and printer-to-host authentication stops unauthorised devices from sending print jobs to it in the first place. On the physical side, the printer includes a Kensington lock point, so it can be secured to a desk rather than left free for anyone to walk off with, along with the card stock loaded inside it.

Day-to-day handling

The card feeder automatically adjusts to whatever card thickness you load, so there's no manual recalibration between batches. Ribbon changes don't need a manual either, each printer ribbon comes pre-loaded into a cassette for easy installation.

Zebra recommends cleaning the ZC100 every 1,000 prints or sooner if you notice card feed issues or a drop in print quality, using a genuine Zebra cleaning kit.

FAQs About The Zebra ZC100 ID Card Printer

What can this printer actually print on?

Standard CR80 PVC or composite cards and technology cards like MIFARE, HID Prox and iCLASS, provided the card surface itself is smooth and printable.

Does this bundle print on both sides of the card?

No, this bundle is built around the single-sided ZC100. Double-sided printing is possible with this Zebra ZC300, which is also available in a bundle.

Is the software genuinely included or is it a trial?

CardStudio 2.0 is included as part of this bundle. It's not a time-limited trial or reduced-capacity software. It's fully functional, easy-to-use ID card printing software packed full of lots of helpful features.

How long will 200 ID cards and one ribbon actually last us?

That depends on your print volume but the ribbon is rated for 200 prints and the bundle includes a matching 200 cards, so they're sized to run out together rather than leaving you short of one and not the other.
