Zebra Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ZBRA), a global leader in specialty printing and automatic identification solutions, announced the launch of the ZXP Series 8™ Secure Issuance printer this week at the Bank Administration Institute (BAI) Retail Delivery Conference. Addressing global industry requirements for on-demand printing of bank credit, debit and ATM cards, this model capitalizes on the award-winning ZXP Series 8™ retransfer card printer technology to provide the fastest, on-site card printing resulting in significantly decreased wait times and increased customer loyalty.
“Flat cards are becoming more widespread throughout the U.S. and globally, offering an array of benefits over printing the cards off-site and having them mailed to the cardholder,” said Mark Zucherman, product manager, Zebra Technologies. “As this trend grows, Zebra recognizes the opportunity to apply our extensive high-performance card printing experience in this emerging market with the ZXP Series 8 Secure Issuance Printer.”
Zebra’s Secure Issuance printer, in conjunction with leading application providers, is capable of printing fully activated debit, credit and ATM cards on flat, non-embossed cards. This can be done directly onsite at the financial institution for instantaneous, on-the-spot issuance, saving customers the wait time generally associated with having a new or replacement card centrally printed and mailed. The ZXP Instant Issuance printer also allows banks, retailers and higher education institutions to print cards on demand at remote locations.
Leveraging the technology of the ZXP Series 8 retransfer card printer, the Secure Issuance printer features a locking mechanism to protect the input, reject and media inside the printer from unauthorized access, obstructed view of input and output hoppers, and includes encryption to protect all sensitive cardholder data during network transmission. It also meets industry security specifications for smart card encoding such as EMV Level 1 Type Approval, which tests for compliance with the electromechanical characteristics, logical interface, and transmission protocol requirements defined in the EMV Specifications.

Illustrating a commitment to the instant issuance application market, Zebra has collaborated with leading financial card solutions providers who provide a full solution to financial institutions.
