Compact Professional Card Printing
Zenius 2 is designed for efficient production of professional-quality plastic cards without requiring a large amount of counter or desk space. Its compact design makes it well suited for offices, reception areas, enrollment desks, membership departments and other environments where cards are produced as needed.
The printer supports both full-color and monochrome printing and provides edge-to-edge personalization for standard card applications.
USB + Ethernet Expert Configuration
Unlike USB-only configurations, the Zenius 2 Expert provides both USB and Ethernet connectivity. This gives organizations flexibility to connect the printer directly to an individual computer or place it on a compatible network for shared access.
The ZN2-0002 is listed as “without option”, meaning this configuration does not include an optional magnetic stripe, contact smart card or contactless card encoder.
ID-ALL Starter Edition Included
The Evolis Zenius 2 includes ID-ALL Starter Edition, Evolis card creation software for designing and printing personalized ID cards and badges. ID-ALL provides the tools needed to build basic card layouts using text, images and other common design elements.
ID-ALL can be installed on a compatible Windows or Mac computer and used with the Zenius 2 through its USB or Ethernet connection. Higher ID-ALL editions are available separately for organizations that later need expanded database, security or design functionality.
Ideal Applications
- Employee identification cards
- Student and faculty IDs
