The reputation Zebra Eltron has established for building reliable ID badge printers has been earned. Before this company releases a new ID printer, it tests it.
In the case of the Zebra P330i ID printer, this meant printing over 5000 ID cards, ranging in thickness from 10 to 60 mils, without a single problem. It meant moving over 40,000 other ID badges through the same path the blank ID cards in your ID card printer will follow.
Convinced?
Another test involved subjecting the Zebra P330i ID card maker to shocks of 30Gs (thirty times the force of gravity we experience on land). Zebra printers underwent this sudden acceleration and stopping twice along each geometric coordinate.
Afterward, the ID badge printers printed ID cards the same ever – perfectly.
(Humans start coming apart at 10Gs.)
