PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: Zebra P120i
Zebra P120i

The Zebra P120i makes dual-sided ID card printing easy and affordable. Compact and lightweight, the printer can be used almost anywhere. It quickly produces full-color cards for applications ranging from membership and loyalty programs, to student IDs, employee badges and more. A key attribute of the P120i is its ability to print both card sides in a single pass. This saves valuable time and allows you to design for both the front and back of your ID cards without having to worry about manual flipping. The printer does all the work for you.

With convenient features such as automatic ribbon detection and printer configuration, integrated Load-N-Go ribbon cartridges, and a user-friendly LCD display screen, operating the Zebra P120i is incredibly easy. The printer is also quite durable, with a modern design that includes high-tech materials and advanced electronics.

LEARNING CENTER
QUESTION:
What is the difference between Hi-Co and Lo-Co magnetic stripe encoding?

ANSWER:

Coercivity is a measurement of the amount of energy it takes to change the polarity of a magnetic field. Since information on magnetic stripes is stored as a pattern of positive or negative magnetic fields, coercivity also becomes a measure of how long an ID Card’s magnetic stripe can retain the information that has been encoded within it.

Because it takes a stronger magnet to change its unique pattern of magnetic fields, information stored within a hi-co magnetic strip will not be degraded as quickly as information stored on a low-co magnetic strip.

In other words: hi-co ID cards work longer than lo-co ID cards.
