Cost eciency: supplies designed to minimize the cost per card

The ZXP Series 7 printer is designed to work with Zebra True Colours ix
Series ribbons and Zebra True Secure i Series laminate. The high capacity
ribbons reduce costs by delivering more images per roll and feature an
improved formulation for printing high-quality images at higher speeds.
Many ribbon types are available in two sizes to meet the needs of every
printing task.

Zebra True Secure laminates reduce the risk of counterfeiting and
extend the life of your high-security cards. The unique laminate design

dramatically reduces waste by eliminating the need for carrier material,
backings and liners. Specially designed cartridges make laminate
replacement simple.

Both the ribbons and laminates utilize intelligent media technology,
which automatically detects and calibrates the printer.
