Food Safe Tags and Cards Now Available

On 1 July 2016 changes to country of origin labelling for food commenced, providing clearer labels and more meaningful information to the Australian community about where their food comes from.  Implemented through the Country of Origin Food Labelling Information Standard, most Australian foods will need to carry a card or label with a clearly defined box. Print Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) food allergen information on plastic cards.
Evolis, the world leader in customization and printing solutions for plastic cards, has been awarded new certifications by TÜV Rheinland for the manufacture of its price tags. These certifications guarantee that the printed cards are compliant with European and U.S. regulations for food-contact compatibility making food advertising and labeling easier.

The Evolis High Trust® range of consumables is specically designed to deliver premium graphic performances and ease of use. Installing the ribbon cassette is a simple one-step process, and with its integrated chip, Zenius instantly identifies the ribbon type and configures all settings accordingly.

The Evolis Premium Suite® software, supplies the Print Centre, a printing and configuration system that monitors all communications between the printer and the user. The printer’s operation can be managed entirely right from the user’s interface and through pop-up notifications on the printing status, ribbon availability and maintenance tasks. This Printer Manager also offers direct access to the Evolis Web-based Support Centre, available on a 24/7 basis.

Equipped with state-of-the-art printing technologies, the Expert version of Zenius can be upgraded onsite with multiple encoders. These flexible features ensure that you will always be in line with your current and future requirements in plastic card printing.

Thanks to its amazingly small size, Zenius can be accommodated in virtually any environment, be it a welcome desk, a sales counter, or an office desk. Zenius weighs 3.3 kg and is the lightest printer in its category.

Zenius has earned the coveted ENERGY STAR certification and complies with the reduced energy consumption guidelines from the ErP European Directive. In addition, the Zenius proudly carries the stamp of Evolis’ strong commitment to reliability, and therefore, benefits from unmatched quality along with a 2-year warranty.

Zenius card printer comes with a very convenient 50-card feeder and is available in two colours: Red & Taupe

Zenius Colour ID Card Printer with encoder

The Zenius Expert version can be upgraded with multiple encoders such as encoder for magnetic stripe cards. This encoder allows you to personalise your cards in two different modes: ISO 7811 Norms using tracks 1, 2 and 3 (standard factory settings)

Custom mode for specific applications (with different track formats, density per track, start and stop characters. For magnetic specific encoding developments, please ask us for the programming guide or contact our technical support.

Not forgetting to mention that the encoder can be defined by the user to operate with either a low (300 oersted), medium (2750 oersted) or high (4000 oersted) coercivity, by a simple click via the Windows driver. To set the medium coercivity, select high coercivity in the Windows driver.

Field Upgrade your Zenius to mag encode! This magnetic encoder can be fitted to any standard Zenius card printer, simply contact Interactcard to get your Zenius field upgraded. This simple operation enables the user to update the printer at low cost and without needing to change equipment.

Zenius Smart Card Contact Encoding

Give an "intelligent" dimension to your cards by taking advantages of the Zenius SMART Printer from Evolis.

The Zenius SMART is based on the characteristics of the Zenius printer and integrates a Smart Card Contact Station which enables you to personalise the chip cards. The Zenius SMART is compatible with any ISO 7816-2 Chip Cards.

The push & contact system of the Smart Card Contact Station provides the contact with the card only when a personalisation of the chip is required. This advantage ensures a better Contact Station durability and a higher card printing quality as it prevents scratches on the card surface. Smart Cards have a microchip with a memory embedded, this memory can be programmed. A cash card could be regularly recharged with new monies and then used as an electronic wallet. The more advanced cards contain a micro processor opening up the possibilities for future applications.

Most of the systems of personalising the Smart Cards are invisible to the average card holder. The processes used varied in implementation and complexity depending on the type of Smart Card that is being used. The Zenius SMART Card Printer offers card personalisation as it codes the chip and prints on the card in one go. This single card personalisation system provides flexibility and ability to obtain in a few minutes a finished card-in-hand. To personalize the chip, the Zenius SMART Card Printer integrates a Smart Card Contact Station to program the Smart Cards which complies with ISO 7816-2.

Zenius Smart Card Contactless Encoding

A Contactless card consists of a memory or microprocessor chip connected to an antenna. The antenna and micro-module are embedded into the plastic card body. To program integrated circuit cards a printer needs to be equipped with a coupler.

Key advantages: Ergonomics, Faster transactions than with standard 'contact' smart card technology, Distance between the reader and the card, High data rate (high speed radio frequency between the card and the terminal), No physical contact (less contamination and damage) and less wear and tear.
