Review: Zebra GK420D Direct Thermal Printer

By James Oliver


Without a doubt, the Zebra Gk4200D is the best all around printer out of the G-Series. It delivers the very best in class so far as speed and performance. This model is feature-rich, trusty, sturdy, and flexible to fit almost any low to mid volume printing application and budget. Check out some of the many uses for the Zebra GK420D thermal printer:

- Price marking
- Gift registry
- Voucher and invoice printing
- Drugstore prescription labeling
- Sample labeling
- Patient tracking
- Light industrial work in process and product labeling
- Visitor ID
- Evidence tracking
- Parking passes
- Boarding passes
- Bag tags
- Ski lift tickets and more

You can print wider labels and more with compact desktop label printers that fit all your wishes. These versatile direct thermal label printers are ideal for all of your applications.

The Zebra GK420D monochrome desktop direct thermal label printer comes fitted out with Ethernet and USB ports, prints 5" per second in black at 203 dpi, and can frequently be used to print labels, tags, invoices, or other media up to 4.09" wide. Direct heat-based printers use heat rather than ink and are often smaller, quieter, faster, and more eco-freindly than dot-matrix printers. The GK420d has a maximum print speed of 5" per second at 203 dpi (dots per in.) and prints labels up to 39" long. The 32-bit processor combined with the 8 MB of SDRAM memory and 4 MB of flash memory offers fast first label printing with in depth media graphics. The Ethernet port enables the printer to be attached to a wired PC network (Ethernet wire sold singly). A USB port and an included USB wire provide connectivity to a P. C. or another machine. EPL and ZPL coding languages are standard.

The GK420d printer's double-walled casing is made of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which helps resist impact. An open-access design facilitates media loading. A reflective sensor allows the printer to identify the gaps, holes, notches, or black marks between labels to print the labels accurately. A transmissive sensor enables it to detect when a roll of media has run out. The auto-detectable power adapter can accept AC power between 100 and 240 volts. This printer is acceptable for use with black bar, black mark, continuing, continual receipt, die-cut, fanfold, gap, nicked, punctured, invoice, roll-fed, tag, or tag stock media (all sold separately). The maximum outside diameter for rolls is 5".

  1. Hi there, I have an old dot matrix printer for billing and other printing tasks at my Stationary store. I am looking to buy a good label printer which is great features as compared to my current working printer. It's so noisy and takes a lot of time to print.
