Best value in a desktop printer

The Zebra GK420t Thermal transfer printer uses Zebra's easy ribbon-loading thermal transfer technology to produce crisp, longlasting label images, or direct thermal technology to print receipts and labels for indoor, short-term use. The GK420t is well-suited to any industry, and provides the same print speeds and connectivity options as the GK420d.

Comments about Zebra GK42-102510-000:

Great printer, have 3 of them for printing wristbands. Works great however every once and a while we get and issue where it will forget how big the labels are and have to resense the label. other from that hickup they work awesome with shorter labels where it quickly finds the mark. our first one has been getting issues but after 3 years of dedicated service its to be expected. (they are electronics after all)

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Zebra GK42-102510-000:

We are barcoding our warehouse. It was very easy to install and prints very fast. Barcodes are easy to read and format. The labels sometime roll around the inside roller if you rip them off too fast and they don't leave a clean edge after the tear.

We use these units in our tissue culture and plant growth facilities. They have proven reliable and stand up, even under the dirty, harsh conditions of the greenhouse potting room.

Comments about Zebra GK42-102210-000:

Great little printer/label maker. It broke after 6 months, but not sure why. I was able to fix it myself, but not sure why one of the cogs fell off. Great printer though. Easy set up and fast to print. Hardly ever jams. I recommend this little beast. It took a lot of use before it momentarily broke.
