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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompact single-sided card printing\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCard handling for a reception desk\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUnderstanding this version\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpert added Ethernet alongside USB and supported optional magnetic, contact and contactless encoders. The Expert model name alone does not establish that an encoder is fitted. Check the configuration of your printer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKeep existing supplies compatible\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMoving to Zenius 2\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eZenius 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCan I buy this original printer?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This listing is retained for reference and has no purchase controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eIs Zenius 2 the same printer?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is the successor, with revised hardware and features. Check version, software and consumables when planning a change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCan I still find compatible ribbons?\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the original Zenius ribbon collection and confirm the exact ribbon reference.
