Zebra ZXP Series 8 Z82-A0ACD000US00 Manuale Utente

Unlike traditional direct-to-card 
printers, which use a printhead 
that prints through a ribbon directly 
onto the card, retransfer printers 
print onto a flexible, transparent 
film that is then thermally bonded 
to the card. In general, benefits of 
retransfer printing include:

•  Higher image quality and print resolution

•  The ability to print on uneven card surfaces 

such as smart cards

•  True edge-to-edge printing (via over-the-

edge printing). Traditional card printers 
leave a white border at the edges of  
the card. 

•  The ability to print on non-PVC cards. Direct-

to-card printers require a dye-receiving  
surface available only through PVC cards. 

•  More durable and abrasion-resistant cards

•  Fraud protection, since the film is inherently 

tamper-evident

Zebra’s ZXP Series 8 printer achieves the fastest print 
speed while maintaining top image quality, making 
it the best-in-class retransfer printer available on the 
market.   

• Zebra achieves print speeds that far exceed any 

other retransfer printer, and that are comparable to 

many of the fastest direct-to-card printers on the 

market today.

• Zebra’s image-processing technology compensates 

for image errors normally caused by high printing 

speeds—enabling photo-quality images and print 

resolution even at increased print speeds.

• Zebra’s patent-pending simultaneous dual-sided 

image transfer process applies film to both sides 

of the card in a single pass, drastically reducing the 

print time. 

The result is photo-like image quality and best-in-
class throughput for mainstream printing, encoding 
and laminating—so you enjoy increased operational 
efficiency.
