Zebra ZXP Series 7 Discontinued
Find a Replacement for Zebra ZXP Series 7
Organizations that rely on the Zebra ZXP Series 7 for printing employee badges, membership cards, access credentials, and other identification cards should begin planning for the printer’s discontinuation.
The Zebra ZXP Series 7 product line includes:
- Zebra ZXP Series 7 Card Printer
- Zebra ZXP Series 7 Printer with Lamination
- Zebra ZXP Series 7 PRO Printer
Although existing printers may remain operational, discontinued equipment can become increasingly difficult to maintain as replacement parts, supplies, software compatibility, and technical support become more limited.
Fortunately, Evolis offers several current card-printing solutions that can replace the functionality of the Zebra ZXP Series 7 while providing updated printing, security, and card-management capabilities.
What Replaces the Zebra ZXP Series 7?
The right replacement depends on your printing volume, security requirements, card materials, and whether your organization needs lamination.
Total ID Solutions can help you evaluate three primary Evolis options:
Replace the Zebra ZXP Series 7 with the Evolis Primacy 2
The Evolis Primacy 2 is a fast, flexible replacement for the standard Zebra ZXP Series 7 and ZXP Series 7 PRO. Designed for medium- to high-volume programs, it supports single- and double-sided printing, multiple encoding options, and enhanced security features.
It is ideal for employee badges, student IDs, membership cards, access credentials, visitor badges, and loyalty cards.
Key Primacy 2 Features
- Fast direct-to-card printing
- High-capacity card feeding
- Single- or double-sided printing
- Edge-to-edge card designs
- Multiple encoding and security options
The Primacy 2 offers the speed, flexibility, and reliability organizations need to keep card production moving.
Replace the Zebra ZXP Series 7 with Lamination
Organizations using the Zebra ZXP Series 7 with Lamination can transition to the Evolis Primacy 2 with the Card Lamination Module.
The module applies a protective film that helps prevent fading, wear, and tampering while extending the life of printed cards. It can be used with the Primacy 2 or as a standalone unit.
Benefits of Card Lamination
- Longer-lasting cards
- Greater protection from wear and tampering
- Optional standard or custom holograms
- Enhanced visual security
- Printing and lamination in one workflow
This solution is ideal for employee badges, student IDs, healthcare credentials, government cards, and other frequently used secure IDs.
Which Evolis Card-Printing Solution Is Right for You?
The Evolis Primacy 2 is a strong replacement for organizations that need fast, reliable direct-to-card printing at medium to large volumes.
The Primacy 2 with the Card Lamination Module is designed for organizations that require additional card protection, durability, and visual security.
Before selecting a replacement, consider:
- The number of cards printed each day or month
- Single-sided or double-sided printing
- Required card lifespan
- Lamination and hologram requirements
- Magnetic stripe or smart-card encoding
- Required image and text quality
- Integration with existing card software
