Evolis Zenius Classic ID Badge Printer

Zenius is the ideal printer for instant issuance of single sided plastic cards. This ID badge maker is the perfect solution for many types of standard sized, plastic cards such as employee badges, access control badges, membership cards, loyalty cards, gift cards, transit passes, school or university cards, and much more. The perfect choice for lower volume needs, 50 cards at a time. With Easy Badges easy to use ID software, clear printing in monochrome or color is at your fingertips.

The Evolis Zenius card printer was designed to make your ID badge printing faster and easier. Zenius is user-friendly and allows you to print single sided color cards in monochrome or color, in large series or just one at a time, with no compromise on quality. Watch your membership, loyalty card, or gift cards come to life with Zenius, Evolis’ most compact and lightweight card printer. It is a smart, user-friendly and accessible solution for a business that needs to print 500 cards or less per year.

More Eco Friendly

As part of Evolis’ commitment to help protect our planet and create a smaller carbon footprint, these printers are designed to be more environmentally friendly. Zenius printers are designed with a focus on conserving energy by reducing the power consumption of printers through idle sleep mode, using recycled materials in manufacture whenever possible, and making the design lighter, smaller and less power-hungry. Not only does the compact size mean less material is needed to manufacture the printer itself, but the need for large packaging and Co2 emissions in transport is reduced.

Drivers & Software

Easy Badges ID badge software makes it easy to design ID badges yourself. Without having to learn Photoshop or hire expensive graphic designers, choose a template among the hundreds available and tweak it to include your logo and colors. Our software is as easy to use as it sounds. Work on PC and MAC, no need to worry about your operating system. Easy Badges software allows you to create professional quality, branded identity cards, visitor passes, access control cards, and more.

The Zenius comes with Evolis Premium Suite® software, which contains the printer drivers for the Windows and Mac OS platforms. Evolis Premium Suite® makes interaction between the printer and the computer more intuitive.

More For Your Investment

Easy Badges signature lifetime email and phone support is unique in the industry. While most ID badge printing companies offer some limited ongoing support, Easy Badges goes above and beyond the industry standard. When you buy from us you are a customer for life- we will always be there on the line.

Expert Verdict star star star star star

The Evolis Zenius ID card printer is highly regarded as one of our top choices for entry-level ID printers. It stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness in Mac® environments, which has made it a preferred option for smaller schools when it comes to producing student and staff ID badges. While it is true that all ID card printers, including those from Evolis, offer more advanced color control on PC, Evolis does have a slight edge over most other manufacturers in terms of compatibility with the Mac® OS. When manual card feeding falls short and there is a consistent need for high quality badge printing, the Zenius is our recommended entry level printer. Additionally, the Evolis line of printers is meticulously hand-built and hand-tested in France, resulting in an impressively low rate of defects.
