The
Zebra ZXP Series 1 and
Series 3 card printers provide affordable solutions to producing plastic cards on-demand. Easy-to-use and compact, these printers both offer fast print speed, reliability, and full-color output. The ZXP Series 3 can print single- and dual-sided cards, while the ZXP Series 1 offers single-sided card printing only.
Every Zebra thermal printer is designed for lasting performance with very little maintenance. But there are still ways you can increase productivity and quality from your ZXP Series 1 or Series 3 ID card printer.
- Buy quality cards. No matter how good the card printer, when you feed it inferior supplies, you are going to get an inferior card. From the print quality to the durability, cutting corners on the media will likely require you to reprint the cards, wasting time and media. In addition, poor quality cards leave dust and debris inside your card printer. As it builds up, this mess will jam your printer and damage the printhead. We recommend genuine Zebra supplies, because they are manufactured and tested for exceptional quality.
- Clean your printer regularly. Your printer will let you know when it’s time for a cleaning. You’ll get an alert on the display, or the print quality is degraded. Use a Zebra cleaning card, and if you have stubborn debris, you can usually remove the foreign particles with a printhead cleaning swab.
- Check your configuration. On a regular basis, make sure your printer settings are correct. Someone may have altered them—to adjust to a certain card type, for example — which impacts printer performance and card quality.
