XXL 2.0 ID Card Printer

Concerts, awards ceremonies, tradeshows, and sports events require maximum security.

The 2XLnext is a next-generation oversized card printer engineered for professional event and accreditation environments. Delivering fast, reliable badge production, it prints up to 180 full-color cards per hour and up to 1,400 cards per hour in monochrome.

The printer supports two card sizes: 124 × 88 mm (4.88 × 3.46 in) and 140 × 88 mm (5.5 × 3.46 in). The printable area corresponds to the standard CR80 format, making preprinted cards the recommended solution for achieving optimal visual quality.

The 2XLnext integrates a control display for clear printer status feedback and supports tool-free “drop-in” printhead replacement, significantly reducing downtime. These features simplify daily operation and ensure accurate print positioning.

Optional contactless encoding (Mifare) expands the printer’s capabilities for access control, accreditation and secure event management. A 2-year warranty provides long-term operational assurance.
