Zebra Technologies<\/a> announced the new ZXP Series 3 card printer<\/a>. Available in the first quarter of 2011, the ZXP Series 3 extends Zebra\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s card printer product line<\/a> with a new model that combines performance and affordability in a small footprint ideally suited for most card printing and encoding applications.<\/p>\n

The ZXP Series 3 is unique to the card printing<\/a> market, employing several advanced features that provide best-in-class performance at an attractive price point. The ZXP Release 3 ZRaster host-based image processing technology takes advantage of the increased processing power of today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s PCs to significantly optimise image and print quality while increasing overall print speed throughput. This permits greater sophistication in image optimisations without sacrificing printer speed or adding cost. Additionally, new Zebra high performance card ribbons<\/a> employ an improved chemical formulation specifically designed for fast high-quality image printing. Zebra is first to market with the new ribbons, which provide more efficient dye transfer and greater durability under printing conditions. Both these innovations work together to provide better image quality and faster throughput without compromising reliability or cost.<\/p>\n
