The Zebra ZC300 ZC32-000C000EM00 is a dual-sided ID card printer for sharp 300 dpi full-colour or monochrome cards – dye-sublimation printing, edge to edge on standard CR80 cards. It prints both sides in one run with its built-in card flipper – up to 450 monochrome or 140 full-colour (YMCKOK) dual-sided cards per hour – and connects via USB 2.0 and 10/100 Ethernet. Magnetic stripe, contact and contactless encoders can be added later as field upgrades. Ideal for employee and visitor badges, membership, loyalty and event cards.
