It solved many issues in my business, Zebra is a top leader brand definetely, what else can I say, dont try the other ones, get it soon as you can

It takes some research to learn which labels to buy. Zebra's media part numbering system is a little convoluted. 1000-2000-3000-4000-5000-6000 is media quality (1000 the lowest), D = thermal direct, T = thermal transfer (requires "ink" ribbon).

There is a reason Zebra owns the label printer market; These printers practically never fail, are fast, and easy to use; You don't need a driver (use Generic/Text Only) for printing labels with ZPL, Zebra's own printer language.

The Windows driver that I used at first (which I didn't need in the end) didn't want to detect the media width and kept printing 3 inch wide; I had to manually do a media sensor calibration to make it detect the end of the label, once done, this worked flawlessly though

The Zebra direct thermal printer works as designed. It prints 4" x 6" shipping USPS labels as required by our application.

We have recently purchased this printer and very impressed with its operation for printing labels for sending parcels via TNT, Parcel force and also UK Mail

Where Zebra's industrial-strength printers shine, however, is in, well, industrial-strength environments where volume database and/or other custom applications are required on the backend, which keeps the label printer going on the frontend.

Exceptionally low running costs; Prints fast; Open programming platform for custom applications; Wide selection of label media; Dual simultaneous connectivity through serial and parallel ports

Complicated software installation; Ethernet costs extra; Lacks wireless and mobile support

fast shipping works great

At the lower end of Zebra Technologies' somewhat extensive stable of label/barcode printers, the Zebra GC420d Direct Thermal Printer ($595) is small and relatively low-priced as industrial-strength label printers go. Though the GC420d is big and beefy, compared with the combination consumer-grade/small business professional label makers we've reviewed recently, such as the Editors' Choice Brother QL-820NWB, it's more than capable of printing a wide range of label types from your team's PCs, as well as some tablets and smartphones. It's a great choice for mid-volume, industrial-strength labeling in near-limitless settings, from warehouses to medical facilities and beyond. Limited Connectivity Measuring 7.6 by 7.5 by 8.3 inches (HWD) and weighing 4.6 pounds, the Zebra GC420d ($350.00 at Amazon UK) is a bit taller, wider, and heavier than Brother's otherwise similarly designed QL-800 series label makers, which includes the flagship QL-820NWB model, as well as the QL-810W ($350.00 at...

The Zebra GC420d, the next step up from a consumer-grade label printer, provides wide-ranging expansion options and a very low cost of operation.
