Compact single-sided printer for small runs of plastic cards with color or monochrome finishes.
Request DemoEvolis positions Zenius (and the refreshed Zenius 2) as the go-to for single-sided cards printed individually or in short runs. It outputs color or monochrome badges with top-quality results while keeping the footprint light enough for reception desks in Dubai hotels or satellite offices across the UAE.

Detailed technical specifications to help you evaluate fit and performance.
The Evolis Zenius is a compact, single-sided ID card printer designed for organisations that issue cards in small to moderate volumes and need dependable output without operational complexity. It is built for everyday identification needs such as employee badges, visitor cards, student IDs, loyalty cards and membership credentials. Zenius focuses on simplicity, consistency and footprint efficiency, making it suitable for desks, reception counters and decentralised offices.
This model is positioned as an entry-level to mid-range solution where ease of use, predictable results and low maintenance matter more than advanced security or high-volume production. Its design reflects environments where cards are printed regularly but not in continuous batch runs.
Zenius uses direct-to-card dye-sublimation and resin thermal transfer printing to apply images and text directly onto the card surface. This approach allows straightforward printing workflows with minimal setup, making it practical for teams without dedicated print operators.
The printer is optimised for single-sided card issuance and supports colour and monochrome printing. With front-loading consumables and a compact housing, Zenius integrates easily into limited workspaces while keeping routine tasks such as ribbon replacement and card loading simple and quick.
Its controlled print speed and stable output make it suitable for organisations that prioritise reliability and clarity over raw throughput.
Zenius is well suited for organisations that want reliable card printing without the overhead of complex configuration or large equipment. Its straightforward operation reduces dependency on specialised staff and keeps card issuance manageable at the departmental level.
Vertilinks supports buyers by helping them assess whether Zenius matches their actual printing volume, card design requirements and encoding needs. This guidance prevents over-investment in unnecessary features while ensuring the printer fits into existing workflows. With the right ribbon selection and setup advice, Zenius becomes a dependable tool for day-to-day identification rather than a device that demands constant attention.
The official clip shows how Zenius slots into Dubai reception counters with a 3.3 kg footprint, quiet feed path, and simple LED cues. You will see quick colour or monochrome ribbon swaps, a front hopper suited to kiosks, and optional Ethernet for networked jobs around the UAE. It is a friendly primer for short-run projects.
