Zebra ZD420 Ribbon Cartridge Desktop Printers

ZEBRA ZD420 RIBBON CARTRIDGE DESKTOP PRINTERS

If you need a fast 4-inch printer that is easy to use, easy to deploy and easy to manage, choose the leader of the class – the ZD420. The ZD420 is loaded with features that make it the easiest printer to use in its class. The ZD420 is the only thermal printer to offer a ribbon cartridge, which takes just a few seconds to load, with fool-proof installation — the ribbon cartridge can only be loaded one way for first-time every-time instant loading. The crypto chip in the cartridge's ribbon lets you know when the ribbon needs replacing. And with five intuitive status icons — status, pause, data, supplies and network — your workers can see at a glance what is needed to keep your Zebra ZD420 printer up, running and available.

In addition to the innovative ribbon cartridge, on-site upgrades and just about every modern wired and wireless connectivity option, the ZD420 also comes with Link-OS. This unique software platform greatly reduces time spent integrating, managing and troubleshooting all of your printers — making your ZD420 thermal printers more cost-effective than ever. Using the included Print Touch tag (NFC), workers can pair a compatible mobile device in a split second. You can monitor and manage all your ZD420 printers from the cloud, for unsurpassed management simplicity.

And our optional Zebra OneCare service will help you maximize the availability and productivity of your ZD420 printers with unmatched from-the-manufacturer support that covers everything — from worn out printheads to normal wear and tear. The ZD420 — when ease of use, flexibility and management simplicity matter.
