Adhesive-back cards, also called sticky-back cards, are typically used with technology cards that are too thick for some ID card printers. Card information is first printed on the thin adhesive-back cards and then affixed to the thicker technology card.

We are welcoming the ZXP Series 3 to AlphaCard by making it the centerpiece of four new photo ID systems. Zebra’s newest card printer offers easy usability, low upkeep and fast results, making it a great option for small to mid-size businesses.

AlphaCard hosted two Zebra representatives who came by today to present us with the ZXP Series 3. Karen and Nick traveled from Seattle and California respectively to demonstrate Zebra’s latest card printer to our technical support and sales teams.

AlphaCard is offering a new printer from Zebra. The ZXP 3 is a no-fuss solution to producing great looking cards. With optional magnetic stripe encoding, this printer is ideal for small to mid-size organizations to create student IDs, customer loyalty cards and employee badges.

Now that 2011 is in full swing so are popular printer rebate programs from Fargo and Zebra. With AlphaCard’s Printer Rebate Offers you could save big on a new Fargo or Zebra printer by taking advantage of the rebate credits offered from both printer manufacturers when you trade in your old printer for a new one.

Zebra and Magicard are known for providing innovative card printing solutions. From entry level printers like the Zebra P120i or the Magicard Pronto and Enduro right on up to high-performance, high-volume printers including the Zebra ZXP Series 8 retransfer printer and the brand new Magicard Rio Pro, Zebra and Magicard offer card printing solutions across a wide range of industries.

Zebra recently introduced a new firmware release, version 2.00 for their line of Value class card printers including the P100i, P110m, P110i, and P120i. This release replaces the current firmware version 1.18.25 and is compatible with the current version 8.00 Value class driver.

Last week we announced that Magicard has made 64-bit drivers available for its most popular ID card printer models. Well, they weren't the only ones. Zebra and Fargo are also providing updated printer drivers that support 64-bit computers and systems, while Evolis and Datacard already have 64-bit drivers available.

Reverse-transfer printing is an innovative technology available with high-definition ID card printers such as the Fargo HDP5000, Zebra ZXP Series 8, and the Magicard Prima. The reverse-transfer printing process produces vivid photo IDs with enhanced color clarity and crisp imaging.

Zebra's Performance Class card printers are getting an upgrade, thanks to new firmware and driver versions that offer a number of key enhancements. These updates apply to all Zebra P330i, P330m, and P430i card printers. New printers will include these enhancements, while those of you who are already using one of these printers can immediately download the firmware and driver straight from Zebra.

When we think about high-definition card printers, the first thing that comes to mind is the enhanced print quality. High-def printers such as the Fargo HDP5000 and the new Zebra ZXP Series 8 are know for their ability to produce photo-quality cards with vivid colors and sharp images and text, but that's not their only benefit. These printers are also built to last, and they offer the flexibility to print on multiple card types.

Recently we introduced you to the new Zebra ZXP Series 8 retransfer card printer, Zebra's first foray into the world of high-definition card printing. We're pleased to announce that the Zebra ZXP Series 8 is now available for purchase in the AlphaCard.com online store.

Zebra's ZXP Series 8 ID card printer is on display at the ASIS International conference in Anaheim. The Zebra ZXP Series 8 is the company's new foray into the world of retransfer card printing. Retransfer (or high-definition) printing is an innovative process where the elements of your card design, such as images and text, are printed on the reverse side of a special film which is then fused to the card surface. The process results in photo-quality cards with true over-the-edge printing.

Zebra has added to its line of printers with the introduction of the Zebra QuikCard ID Solution. This all-in-one system is designed with small to mid-sized businesses in mind and is an easy solution for entry-level card applications. Zebra touts the new system as an answer for those who don’t have that much technical expertise, which makes it a practical addition to many office environments.

AlphaCard has just announced a series of photo ID systems geared towards the needs of police departments and law enforcement agencies. Police departments have strict security requirements for their ID cards. These cards play an important role by identifying officers and help to ensure that they have proper access during critical situations where every moment counts. Because of the importance of police ID cards, they often contain security elements that work to prevent tampering and illegal duplication. AlphaCard's Police ID Card Systems make it easy for police departments to design and print ID cards that are durable, secure, and tamper-resistant.

Zebra has added to its powerful Security Line of ID card printers with the new Zebra P630i. The P630i is a printer/encoder with single-sided lamination and a range of security options and features. Coming at a lower price tag than most high-security printers, the P630i serves as an affordable addition to Zebra’s Security Line of ID badge machines. The Zebra camp is hailing it as the most affordable and environmentally friendly printer in its class.
