Eco-design

As part of our eco-design system aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of our products, Evolis:

• uses recycled materials in the manufacture of our printers and consumables whenever possible,
• designs compact and lightweight printers to reduce CO² emissions from transportation and packaging,
• reduces the power consumption of its printers through a very economical hibernation mode.

Compact, easy to use and professional

Professional printing

Zenius printers produce professional results thanks to the 300 dpi resolution and edge to edge printing. Your logos, photos, barcodes and text are rendered perfectly on your cards, conveying a positive image of your organization.

Space saving

Zenius packs all its advanced features into a very small footprint. Hardly larger than a standard sheet of paper, Zenius is also very quiet - 46 decibels in operation - and fits perfectly into any environment, be it the office or a customer service counter.

Ease of use

Zenius was designed to be intuitive and easy to use.

• You insert your cards individually or use the automatic feeder, and the final product is delivered on the front of the printer.
• With the Evolis Premium Suite^® software you can receive notifications and easily control the printer from your computer.
• Evolis High Trust^® ribbons are easy to install and automatically recognized by the printer.

On demand printing

Zenius was developed specifi cally for printing cards individually or in small runs. You can print as needed, when needed, in quantities that are right for you. Zenius can print a color card in 30 seconds and up to 150 color cards per hour, so you and your customers don’t have to wait.
