CardStudio Professional is so easy to set up and use that it allows you to implement your card personalization application quickly and easily-spending little time and money on training.

Standout features of Zebra ZMotif CardStudio Professional include access rights management via application logins, auto/batch printing and biometrics management.

Easy-to-use tools with advanced capabilities
CardStudio Professional software showcases a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) interface that shows you real time results as you are making changes to the design and layout of your cards. Its dark and neutral background allows your task at hand to be the focus, yet your design tools are readily available on the screen for your use-providing optimal click efficiency to find what you need, and eliminating the distraction of pop-ups over your work.

Its design tools allow you to create and manipulate your card objects to your needs. Likewise, the imager tool provides the ability to adjust and control image properties, such as image brightness and transparency.

CardStudio Professional software allows you to import images in multiple file formats and perform image acquisition using your scanner, digital camera or any TWAIN device (e.g., inPhotoCapture or Canon Rebel T3 Camera with TWAIN Driver & Face Finder software). It also houses a clipart library that includes comprehensive clipart manager capabilities, giving you the power to store your own imagery in addition to the default imagery.

Plus, CardStudio Professional software includes access rights management, allowing you to grant design, edit and print rights to users. This adds a level of security to your card personalization application.

Extensive printing capabilities
CardStudio Professional software provides easy-to-use batch and automatic printing abilities, and it accommodates dual-sided printing so that you can utilize all of the real estate on your card. With its ability to use any Microsoft Windows printer driver and Direct Command Language (DCL), you are equipped to achieve maximum print speed and errors control.

Robust database and networking solutions
CardStudio Professional software is equipped with a full internal Microsoft Access database, allowing you to add and edit card holder records in its database layout view, associate a photo with a database record, and perform powerful database query and reporting functions. CardStudio Professional provides full ODBC connection, in addition to providing access to your stored CSV text files. Simply drag and drop data from your database to your CardStudio Professional work area.

CardStudio Professional software for ZXP Zeries printers allows your company to easily operate over its network. Via additional site licenses, users in any networked branch can create, update and maintain multiple records. Furthermore, its network print server (NPS) allows multiple workstations to print and encode cards via a LAN or WAN on a server computer with one or more card printers.

Supports your needs for feature-rich cards
Create feature-rich cards using magnetic stripe, contact or contactless smart card encoding technologies. Zebra P1031775-001 also allows you to manage biometrics (e.g., fingerprints, signatures, etc.) information. CardStudio Professional additionally supports the major 1-D and 2-D barcode printing symbologies, including PDF417 2-D barcodes that perform facial image encoding.

Easy upgrade path to added capabilities
If you are already using a version of CardStudio software with your ZXP Series printer, it is easy to upgrade to any edition. Upgrading is as simple as receiving an email from us!

An optional feature is the FaceSnap upgrade. FaceSnap is a plug-in that is able to automatically identify a face on a picture, crop the face out of the scene and improve its image quality. Refer to the FaceSnap Upgrade page to learn more.
