Zebra ZD621 Desktop Label Printer – 4-Inch Thermal Barcode Printer

Direct thermal or thermal transfer?

Direct thermal models print with no ribbon and are the usual choice for shipping labels, receipts and anything with a short life. Thermal transfer models use a ribbon and produce labels that hold up to heat, sunlight, chemicals and handling.

Which model should you pick?

• 203 dpi covers shipping, inventory and general product labels.
• 300 dpi is worth it for small type, dense 2D codes and compliance labeling.
• Healthcare models use disinfectant-ready plastics and a medical-grade power supply for patient wristbands.
• ZD621R adds UHF RFID encoding.
