Evolis Zenius ID Card Printer (single sided)

The original Evolis Zenius Classic is discontinued. This page preserves the model details for existing owners and helps you plan a replacement. Evolis now directs customers to Zenius 2; compare the new printer’s configuration and consumables before changing your setup.

Compact single-sided card printing

Original Zenius printers were designed for individual badges and smaller card runs. Colour dye-sublimation and monochrome resin printing supported staff identification, membership and visitor cards, with 300 dpi output and edge-to-edge designs.

Card handling for a reception desk

Use the automatic 50-card feeder for a small batch or insert cards individually for on-demand jobs. Finished cards collect in the 20-card output tray. These capacities describe the original Zenius and should not be confused with the newer Zenius 2.

Understanding this version

The Classic model connected by USB and suited a directly connected workstation. Ethernet and encoding options belonged to the Expert range; they were not standard features of this Classic listing.

Keep existing supplies compatible

Check the printer label and ribbon part number before ordering replacement supplies. A similar product name does not guarantee that a newer-generation ribbon will fit. Cleaning and appropriate consumables remain important for an existing machine even after the printer is discontinued.

Moving to Zenius 2

Zenius 2 is the manufacturer’s successor to original Zenius. Review its Classic and Expert versions, current software and supported media against your workflow. If the old printer has an encoder or relies on a particular application, confirm those requirements before choosing the replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy this original printer?

No. This listing is retained for reference and has no purchase controls.

Is Zenius 2 the same printer?

No. It is the successor, with revised hardware and features. Check version, software and consumables when planning a change.

Can I still find compatible ribbons?

Use the original Zenius ribbon collection and confirm the exact ribbon reference. Do not substitute a Zenius 2 ribbon solely because the names are similar.
