ZD421 Direct Thermal Printer - 203 dpi, USB, USB Host, Modular Connectivity Slot, BTLE5 - Suitable For Logistics, Manufacturing, Retail and Healthcare Applications

Great, thank you

Tried two but unfortunately these are expensive and not useful Looks like very good quality build, but I tried so many times including switch between mac and windows, and simply could not get it work.

Being a product from Zebra, meaning that it is primarily designed for business use, means that it can be a little confusing to set up, especially the first time doing it. Although once you figure out what you're doing with it, the print quality is great for a thermal printer. The resolution is great and offers clear improvements over cheapo thermal printers that you can get for home use. The main downside I found, especially considering the price of the unit, is that the build quality really is not fantastic, it is main mostly out of plastic and feels a little hollow and cheap, although this does seem consistent with every label printer I have seen in warehouse/shop settings.

This is a really easy label printer to set up and use. The bluetooth allows for a easy set up and means i do not need to worry about wires being across the desk. You can use d a wired connection if that is what you prefer. It prints out quickly and efficiently, with a high quality. It is a lighweight printer, easy to move around and small enough to store too.

This has been very good for our labels, I’ve gone from printing A4 sheets of paper and cutting and sticking to this all in 1 which has been a game changer. The speed is very surprising and the thermal print is clear and accurate every time. It’s very odd not having print cartridges and as far as I can work out it will be cheaper with the cost of cartridges and paper compared to the cost of just thermal labels. The size of the printer is tiny and very easy to position, it prints in either direct thermal or thermal transfer which differ in price so depending what you want it for the choice is yours. I use the Bluetooth option which is brilliant, it’s easy to control and the settings are straight forward and it will save the choices. I’ve used a few of the main couriers, yodel, post office and more and they all print out perfectly. You have settings as well for printing darker or lighter as well which is useful, it doesn’t make any difference to the sharpness of the label, the couriers have been able to scan the barcodes every time without problem which is more than happens for my old deskjet. If you are printing a lot of labels then honestly this will be a great addition to your setup, it still boggles my mind how they can use heat to be so accurate, no clue, but this is a brilliant little printer.

Worked for a week and stopped

This thermal label printer is a very handy device for printing labels. Because it’s small and compact it’s easy to take with him wherever he goes and when he’s out of the house he can connect easily to it. It has a great resolution and offers fast wireless printing. The machine itself prints very clear images and packing labels. It’s very quick at printing. It seems to have the balance right between speed and print quality and the very low printing costs are surprising. It’s very straightforward to set up and is compatible with many major online marketplaces, and there’s a good number of label styles, sizes and shapes to choose from. So far I can say that this thermal printer is very low maintenance has outstanding ease of use and great reliability. It’s solidly made and looks great. This is a sustainable eco friendly option for us with no inkjet or other consumables capable of contaminating the environment. The heat directly acts on the thermal paper, completely eliminating the need for cartridges, and of course on going costs. This is a great little tool that I can see myself using regularly for many years. Really handy for helping to organise our ever more complicated lives!

First of all the box was very battered when we got it so I wasn't holding out much hope for what was inside but luckily nothing was broken. We needed this for printing QR codes that can link back to our system and its worked great for that. Not the cheapest but does a great job. loses a star for the packaging.

👍
