Quick view

The Zebra ZXP 3 is a mid-range, single to dual-sided card printer designed for office electronics use, launched in 2014. It supports dye-sublimation thermal transfer printing technology with retractable lamination option, enabling secure, durable card finishes. The device operates at speeds up to 180 single-sided or 140 dual-sided cards per hour, making it suitable for moderate volume printing tasks. With a USB 2.0 interface, it offers reliable data transfer and compatibility with various operating systems through included drivers. The printer’s media handling supports standard CR80 ANSI PVC cards and optional cleaning kits to maintain print quality. It features a compact design with a 100-card input hopper and 30-card output hopper, facilitating ease of use and minimal footprint in office environments.

The ZXP 3 printer provides excellent print quality with edge-to-edge, full-color output and optional lamination for enhanced card security. It is easy to install and use, with intuitive software and maintenance routines designed to minimize downtime. Its mid-range printing speed balances performance with affordability, making it accessible for small to medium-sized businesses. The printer supports versatile card encoding options, including magnetic stripe, smart card, and contactless encoding modules. Zebra offers comprehensive documentation, software updates, and replacement parts to support long-term use. The device’s compact size preserves valuable workspace without sacrificing functionality.

The ZXP 3 printer has limited print volume compared to industrial-grade card printers, which may be insufficient for very high-demand applications. Its USB 2.0 connectivity does not support faster networking options like Ethernet or Wi-Fi natively. The device lacks some advanced security features found in newer models, such as secure boot or encrypted printing. Lamination is optional and sold separately, adding to the total cost of ownership. It has a relatively small capacity input and output hopper compared to high-volume models, requiring frequent card loading for large jobs. Compatibility with the latest operating systems may require updated drivers or software solutions.
