ZEBRA ZD421 Thermal Transfer Desktop Printer 203 dpi Print Width 4-inch USB ZD4A042-301M00EZ

This is probably the most versatile label printer I have ever used. The fact it can print both with the ink ribbon for tough labels to just thermal printing for shipping labels, this printer does not disappoint. This printer does not come with labels or the ink ribbon since most users of this printer are going to be businesses not the home user, and they're printing needs and label size needs are going to very greatly.With that said, this printer can print on just about any size of roll labels, just tell the software what label your using and your ready to go! Need to change sizes? No problem, again just tell the software what label size your using, if this is for a business, the printer will spit a few labels out to adjust to the size.Go Zebra! I like most of your products, and I know you cater to businesses, so your products are built to commercial/industrial spec, and that does come with a big price tag, but in the long run I know what I bought is going to last me as a home user indefinitely.

DO NOT BUY - unit sold to us was per the manufacture "This printer is manufactured to be used inside China region only. " It does not work on our system and the seller will not take it back.

I got this printer to replace my old jewelry labels that were not waterproof or UV proof. My old labels were deteriorating off of my jewelry from doing outside events. After tons of research, I came across thermal transfer printing for the best weather resistance. The wax ribbon (that you have to buy separately) is used in place of ink, and can lasts 2+years. When I received the printer, it was absolutely terrible setting up. You have to go under zebra website find the model and download the driver software and a separate software called zebra setup utilities. The instructions that come in the box were very confusing and I ended up watching a YouTube video. For example if you plug in the USB port before you download the drivers you have to start over. Terrible. I made that mistake. Once I finally got it set up over USB, I tried to set it up through Wi-Fi.. I spent 4 hours watching YouTube videos and researching on Google only to find out THIS PRINTER DOES NOT COME WITH A WI-FI ADAPTER.. IT'S CAPABLE OF WI-FI PRINTING BUT YOU HAVE TO ORDER THAT SEPARATELY. ANOTHER $200!!! They call it the Wi-Fi upgrade card. And it plugs into a port underneath the printer.lastly, once you get everything up and running...changing the labels and setting them up in the design software is a NIGHTMARE! thus printer should be way more technologically upto date. We are in 2025, and this printer is analog. You have to know the size of all of the labels, The margins, The indentations for what side of the label you want to print on and you have to enter all of that in manually into the zebra setup utilities software.. personally if you're looking for something that's plug and play, I would not get this printer.. It is not for the faint of heart. You need a lot of patience in order to learn this machine..On a positive note once you get everything figured out the print quality is exceptional! I'm not going to return it, But if you haven't bought it yet.. I'd keep looking. maybe spend the extra money for something easier to use.

I use this every week. The original setting up was a huge pain to get the 2D codes lined up and sized properly on the sticker paper size. But we got it eventually. It's made a huge difference to my business.

Took about 15 minutes to download drivers and setting it up, but after it worked perfectly. Printer does not come with labels or thermal ribbons, but Zebra printers never do. So if you buy this don’t forget to buy thermal labels and ribbon with either a 0.5 or 1’ core.

Description is incorrect these units do NOT have Ethernet. I was sent 1 unit that did not have Ethernet. thinking this was a mistake I sent for a replacement which also did not have Ethernet.if you needs these to be networked these will not work.
