This is the Zebra ZC10L Large Format Card Printer, an ideal solution for creating oversized badges and event passes with ease. The ZC10L enables you to produce cards with high-quality designs whilst printing what you need. Simply use the free software to create unique designs that include text, barcodes, branding and much more!
At a conference or exhibition, security staff need to be able to tell a VIP pass from a press pass and from a general exhibitor badge at a glance, often across a crowded room, not by pulling someone aside to check. The ZC10L's larger card size makes that possible: a colour-coded, clearly labelled badge that's readable from a distance rather than only up close.
It's the same story at festivals and sporting events. A backstage or hospitality pass needs to be instantly recognisable to security on a gate, especially when hundreds of people are moving through at once, and there's no time to inspect every card closely. And because cards print on demand rather than needing to be pre-ordered, a festival can adjust access tiers or add a new sponsor logo the morning of the event without needing to wait for them to be reprinted.
The ZC10L uses direct-to-card dye sublimation, so the ribbon and printhead come into direct contact with the card to apply full, edge-to-edge colour in a single pass. At 300dpi, print quality holds up even on detailed designs with sponsor logos, guest photos taken on the spot and barcodes or QR codes, for example.
Because every card prints in one pass, there's no need to order partially pre-printed badges ahead of an event and hope attendance matches what you ordered. Design changes can be made right up to the day itself, and guest photos can be captured and printed at the point of entry rather than prepared in advance. Matched ribbon and card kits are available specifically for the ZC10L, so you always have consumables on demand during a busy event season.
The input feeder holds up to 400 cards, with a 100-card output hopper, so a large guest list can run without constant reloading. Print speeds reach up to 195 full-colour cards an hour or 410 in monochrome. CardStudio 2.0 design software comes included with a 30-day free trial, and connects over USB for straightforward setup.
This printer is built specifically for event credentials, VIP passes, and oversized badges, not everyday staff ID cards. So, if you're looking for an event pass printer, this is one of the best printers on the market. Zebra Technologies built this printer exactly for that purpose.
