All Three Badge Printer Models

Full-Color Inkjet

Epson ColorWorks C4000

Full-color event badge printer · lanyard & paper stock
Aria AV's primary color badge printer for conferences, corporate events, and trade shows. The ColorWorks C4000 prints vibrant color badges on standard lanyard paper stock — reproducing brand colors, logos, sponsor graphics, and color-coded attendee tiers accurately. Compatible with all major event management platforms. Fast enough for continuous-flow registration desk operation. The correct choice when the badge is a paper or card-stock format with full branding graphics.
Output: Full color inkjet · vibrant logo & graphic reproduction
Stock: Paper badge stock · lanyard cards · custom sizes
Software: Cvent · Eventbrite · RegOnline · CSV
Connectivity: USB · Ethernet · pre-configured on delivery
Best forConference name badges · corporate event credentials · trade show exhibitor badges · color-coded attendee tier badges · any event requiring branded full-color output on paper stock
Dye-Sublimation · Photo ID

Evolis Primacy 2

Dual-sided dye-sub CR80 ID card printer · photo quality
The Evolis Primacy 2 produces photo-quality CR80 credit-card-format ID badges using dye-sublimation — a heat-transfer process that produces smooth, continuous-tone color without inkjet dot patterns. Dual-sided printing puts the attendee photo and name on the front, with barcode, magnetic stripe encoding, or access tier color coding on the reverse. The correct specification when the badge is a PVC card format — access control events, multi-day credentialing systems, and VIP card production.
Output: Dye-sub · photo-quality continuous tone · dual-sided
Card format: CR80 PVC card (credit-card size)
Encoding: Magnetic stripe · smart chip · barcode options
Software: BadgePass · ID Works · custom integration
Best forPhoto ID events · multi-day conference access credentials · VIP and speaker cards · access control integration · government and security credentialing events
Direct Thermal · High Speed

Zebra ZD620

High-speed direct thermal badge & label printer
The Zebra ZD620 is the high-throughput option — direct thermal printing with no ink or ribbon to run out mid-registration, producing badges faster per unit than full-color alternatives. The ZD620's user-friendly interface and Zebra reliability make it a standard fixture at large-scale conference registration desks where throughput during the opening surge is the primary operational requirement. Available in quantity for multi-desk deployments with matched configurations.
Output: Direct thermal · monochrome · high speed
Throughput: Industry-leading badges per hour
Consumables: No ink or ribbon — thermal stock only
Software: Cvent · Eventbrite · Stova · ZPL compatible
Best forHigh-volume registration desks · 1,000+ person conferences · events where printing speed is the priority · multi-desk deployments requiring identical matched units
Fleet sizing guide

How Many Badge Printers Does Your Registration Need?

1–2Printers

Up to 500 attendees. One primary printer plus one backup is the minimum recommended — a single-printer registration desk has no redundancy.

2–3Printers

500–1,000 attendees across 2–3 desks. Matched models ensure any desk can handle any attendee — no desk-specific configuration.

4–6Printers

1,000–2,000 attendees. Multiple registration lanes with 1–2 printers per desk. Pre-configured identically — one technician manages the fleet.

Custom6+ printers

2,000+ attendees. Contact Aria AV for a fleet recommendation matched to your registration software throughput and venue layout.

⚡

Plan for the registration surge — not the average

The first 30–60 minutes of conference registration is typically 3–5× the average throughput rate. A registration desk that handles 200 badges per hour on average may need to process 600–800 badges per hour at the 8:00am opening. Fleet sizing must account for peak surge, not average rate. Aria AV sizes badge printer fleets to peak — ask for a fleet recommendation when requesting your quote.

Software compatibility

Pre-Configured for Your Registration Platform
