Introducing Zebras Revolutionary HC100 Patient I.D.

Solution
Bar coded wristband printing made easy and cost effective

Have you thought about what laser wristband printing is really costing you?
At first glance, laser may seem like an adequate print technology for wristbands. But, in reality, the hidden costs as well as staff inefficiencies and frustrations add up fast: With laser, the adhesive backing on the wristband and label forms can ooze and cause performance problems for the printer. This leads to increased help desk calls and higher maintenance costs. Laser toner is expensive, and more toner is used to print high-density bar codes than plain text. Laser wristband printing can be time consuming and labor intensive. With some laser bands, the staff must load forms into a special tray, print labels, apply a label to the band, and then fold a laminate coating over the band to protect the bar code image. Many laser forms include extra wristbands and labels that are not needed and must be destroyed under HIPAA guidelines.

Zebras new HC100 Patient I.D. Solution overcomes all of these obstacles. Now your hospital staff can produce and attach a long-lasting, antimicrobial-coated thermal wristband in just two steps. No wasted time with the cumbersome wristband assembly many laser solutions require. No jammed laser printers. No toner. No ribbon. Its that simple.
