Zenius II Badge Printer
Our Zenius II badge printer is the most popular card printer on the market. Its compact size and numerous features help you print secure badges.
Single-sided - 300 Dpi - USB
The Evolis Zenius 2 is the updated version of the popular Zenius card printer. It is a compact, single-sided printer for printing plastic cards, intended for organizations that want to produce small to medium-sized runs — such as ID badges, membership cards, or access cards.
The Zenius 2 is faster and quieter than its predecessor, supports more features (such as rewritable cards), and has a more modern design.
Quiet and compact
Thanks to its compact design, this badge printer can be placed on a counter or desk. In addition, the Zenius II is extremely quiet and has an improved print speed. This ensures efficient working methods for every company.
Modular printer
Easily create your own cards with an appropriate level of security
Thanks to its modular design, the printer can also be expanded with encoding options such as magnetic strips, chips, and RFID.
In addition to all these features, the printer is also energy efficient and user-friendly for every employee.
