 Zebra HC100 is a dedicated wristband printer unlike anything else on the market. This all-in-one solution combines the reliableHC100 direct thermal wristband printer with easy-to-load cartridges containing Zebra’s durable Z-Band wristbands.
The HC100 wristband printer was developed specifically to make wristband printing easier to do in-house. Just pop a Zebra Z-Band cartridge into the printer—and print individual wristbands. The Zebra HC100 allows you to print ID information and all industry standard one- and two-dimensional barcode symbologies directly onto Zebra's Z-Band direct thermal wristbands. The HC-100 can also print text and images, including logos.Â
Each cartridge contains wristbands and single-color ink. Zebra has manufactured a number of wristband styles that can be used for a wide array of applications including:Â- Patient registration and identification at hospitals, medical facilities and outpatient clinics
- Guest registration, identification and hands-free ticketing at hospitality venues and attractionsÂ
- Point of sales processing at events, amusements parks, sporting event and zoos
The wristband cartridges are available in a wide variety of wristband sizes and colors and feature a waterproof adhesive, making the HC100 an ideal solution for any venue. Best of all, Zebra HC100 is much easier to use than laser printers to create wristbands. The easy-to-load wristband cartridges require minimal user action because the printer detects the wristband type and size and automatically calibrates the settings for optimal print quality and reduced waste. There is minimal training required—loading or switching the cartridge is a quick and simple task. With fast print speeds, visitors and patients can be processed quickly. And print-on-demand barcoded ID wristbands reduce fraud.
Finally, the HC100 is hardy and offers flexible connectivity options—including standard USB as well as optional Ethernet or 802.11b/g wireless LAN capability. Its small footprint allows the HC100 printer to fit seamlessly into your workspace.Â
Zebra HC100 comes standard with a demo version of ZebraDesigner which allows you to print a barcode and number only on a wristband. Zebra offers a more advanced bar code software called ZebraDesigner Pro which allows you to design more complex bar codes and work with fixed or variable ID data, including customer names. It features database connectivity, RFID capabilities and printer configuration and diagnostic tools.
