Compact single-sided card printer
The Evolis Zenius is a direct-to-card dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer printer designed for on-demand ID badge production. It suits offices, schools and small organisations that need professional graphics at 300 dpi with edge-to-edge coverage. The unit fits on a desk with a footprint barely larger than an A4 sheet. Included cardPresso XXS software handles design and encoding tasks.
Thermals, noise and power in normal use
The printer operates at up to 150 single-sided cards per hour using automatic or manual feeding. A 50-card input feeder and 20-card output hopper support unattended small runs. Internal memory of 16 MB buffers print jobs while the mechanism maintains consistent quality. Physical dimensions are 41 cm by 39 cm by 30 cm with a weight of 5.5 kg.
Deciding specification — print volume
Rated throughput of 150 cards per hour single-sided defines whether this model matches the workload. Buyers who need higher continuous output or double-sided printing in one pass should evaluate other options. The supplied R5F008S134 ribbon and PVC cards allow immediate start-up. Interfaces include USB and Ethernet on the Expert version.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Zenius card printer and what step do users often miss?
Connect the printer via USB or Ethernet on the Expert version, install the included cardPresso XXS software, then load cards into the 50-card feeder. The step users often miss is selecting the correct ribbon type in the driver so the 300 dpi print head applies the right heat profile for the R5F008S134 ribbon.
What maintenance or replacement will the Zenius need later?
The R5F008S134 ribbon must be replaced after its rated yield. The 300 dpi print head and feed rollers should be cleaned with approved cleaning cards whenever print quality drops or after long idle periods to maintain edge-to-edge output.
What limit appears first when running the Zenius continuously?
The 150 cards per hour single-sided throughput is the first sustained-use limit. The 20-card output hopper fills quickly at that rate, so you must unload cards regularly or printing pauses until space is available.
