Zebra ZC series kart · Mid range
ZC300
Single- and dual-sided card printer with simplicity, security and broad connectivity options in the slimmest design in its class.
It makes printing ID, access, membership, credit and debit cards easy. The printer tells users what it needs in their own language with icons, animations and text. Specialty ribbons add colour, special effects and security features, and a wide range of encoding options is available.
