Zebra P420i Printer Highlights

Dual-Sided, Edge-to-Edge Color Card Printing is Easier and Faster Than Ever

The Zebra P420i plastic card printer is highly versatile, and designed for high volume printing of dual-sided plastic cards in color. Use the Zebra P420i card printer to print:

• Employee ID, Time and Attendance cards
• Student ID and Facilities Access Control cards
• Club Membership and Loyalty cards

The Zebra P420i's rugged, all metal enclosure houses a low-maintenance print mechanism that includes self-cleaning card handling, high capacity ribbon system, two-line LCD control panel, and convenient card reject hopper. The reject hopper separates cards that fail encoding prior to printing, saving valuable printer ribbon. The enclosure includes a viewing window to monitor the printing process without opening the unit. Transparent input and output hoppers provide visual card capacity status.

The Zebra P420i is easy to load and use; the operator control panel displays printer status and functions that guide the operator, using easy to understand status and simple instructions. Printer ribbon synchronization is automatic, eliminating the need for operator intervention. A self-cleaning cartridge thoroughly removes dust before printing to help eliminate card rejects due to dust contamination.

Zebra card printers provide precise card printing, economical, reliable, easy-to-use operation, plus the broadest line of options, accessories and supplies in the industry.
