Why the P330

iiii

is the most powerful printer in its class

Latest generation design of the highly reliable “workhorse” P310

The P310 is the world’s most popular card printer – a position it achieved by being the most reliable. Basing the P330 i

platform on the fundamental P310 mechanics, we’ve made the best even better.

User friendly, intuitive features

LCD Display

Blue touch points

Translucent feeder and print viewing

Patented (Patent Pending) highly reliable angled feeder design

The angle is on purpose! This design features an incredibly innovative method of using the card stack itself as the card weight.

No more integrated card weights or even the bulky external card weight. Load the cards at an angle and watch them feed continuously. You simply can’t find a printer with a more reliable feeder in this class of product.

Wide band feeder system

You can always trust in Zebra to make the best even better. In addition to the angled design, the feeder uses a belt system, as opposed to the previous roller system of the P310, which covers a greater surface area of the card in order to feed every card of every size, hassle-free.

Printhead Bracket opens more than twice as wide!

The newly re-designed printhead bracket now allows over 2.5 times as much clearance, as compared to the P310, for easier ribbon loading and printhead cleaning. You can load the ribbon without threading it under the printhead.

Gimbal Printhead Bracket design

Another re-design for enhanced reliability, the printhead bracket in a P330 i

is on a pivot system. This clever design provides better alignment of the printhead to the platen roller for enhanced print registration.

Easy and gentle open & close printhead latch

With an easy-to-use one-touch latch system in Zebra’s customer-touch-point blue, the printhead bracket will open- and close- smoothly and gently with superior control.

Reliable Color Card

Reproduction

TrueColours plastic card printer ribbons are designed to produce optimum results with your plastic card printer.

TrueColours printer ribbons ensure dependable, consistent high-quality color reproduction from card to card, roll after roll. Depend on TrueColours printer ribbons for vibrant, rich, fullcolor spectrum reproduction, brilliant color photos and

Genuine Zebra print ribbon formula allows for guaranteed printer compatibility with the ribbon and provides for overall matched performance.

TrueSecure Supplies for Increased Card

Protection and Security

All printed plastic cards containing any useful information are subject to counterfeiting, alteration, duplication, and forgery.
