{"product_id":"evolis-zenius","title":"Evolis Zenius ID Card Printer (single sided)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\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\u003eThe 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.\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.
