Zebra ZD421, Direct thermal, 203 x 203 DPI, 152 mm/sec, Wired & Wireless Printer
Many small businesses and busy warehouses struggle with printers that cannot keep up with high-volume labeling. When a printer slows down, orders back up and customers wait longer. The ZD421 solves this by delivering 152 mm per second speed and a crisp 203 203 DPI image on every label. Its direct-thermal technology removes the need for ribbons, reducing supply costs. With both USB and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi options, you can place the printer where it works best, whether on a counter or on a mobile cart.
