The Evolis Zenius Expert is a single-sided ID card printer built for organisations that need reliable, high-volume output without complexity getting in the way. Ethernet connectivity makes it straightforward to deploy across a shared network, and at 500 cards per hour in mono — or 150 cards per hour in full YMCKO colour — it handles serious workloads without fuss. It prints to standard CR80 card size across a range of materials: PVC, PET, ABS, and composite PVC.

Optional encoding modules are available for magnetic stripe, smart card, or contactless technology — the kind of additions that let you build access control or identity verification into the same card you're already printing. Worth considering at the point of order if security credentials matter to your application.

The printer ships with EasyBadge Lite card design software — useful for getting started, though it's capped at 100 records and is Windows-only. No ribbon is included, so you'll need to add the appropriate ribbon for your card type when ordering. If you're unsure which ribbon suits your setup, the identity.ie team can point you in the right direction.
