The Zebra P520i Card Printer is a robust, high-speed card printer designed to quickly produce ISO flat cards for high durability and secure applications. The Zebra P520i Card Printer features an all metal enclosure that houses a fast, field-proven print engine, and heavy-duty fourth generation Lx4 card laminator performance tuned for the Zebra P520i print engine.
