Limitations
The GK420d uses direct thermal technology, which may cause labels to fade over time when exposed to heat and light, limiting long-term label durability. It lacks wireless connectivity options, requiring physical connection via USB or serial ports. The print speed, while adequate for many tasks, may be slower compared to higher-end or industrial label printers. It supports only 203 dpi resolution, which might be insufficient for ultra-fine print requirements. The printer is designed for moderate volume printing and may not be suitable for high-demand manufacturing environments. Lack of color printing limits use to black-and-white labels exclusively.
