Regular price
The desktop label printer for carton, case and batch labels. The Zebra ZD421 thermal transfer prints 4-inch labels with barcodes, batch codes and best-before dates direct from Proof 8, using a ribbon so the print survives handling, condensation and cold storage. Choose 300 dpi for small GS1-128 and 2D codes on 4×3" case labels; 203 dpi is sufficient for large 4×6" labels.
Why it suits a distillery
- Thermal transfer: durable, smudge-resistant print on paper or synthetic labels (unlike direct thermal, which fades with heat and light)
- 4.09-inch print width covers 4×6" shipping and 4×3" carton labels
- Prints ZPL, so it drives directly from Proof 8 label templates
- USB 2.0 and USB host standard; add Ethernet, or Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.3, via field-installable module
- Accepts 74 m or 300 m ribbon rolls, so ribbon changes are infrequent on the 300 m option
- Two-year Zebra warranty
