Key Advantages

The Zebra GK420t provides high-quality printing with a reliable 203 dpi resolution ensuring clear label output. Its compact design saves workspace and fits well in office environments. The thermal transfer technology extends label longevity, making it ideal for long-lasting identification. Compatibility with multiple connectivity options allows easy integration across various systems. The printer supports a wide range of label sizes and materials, enhancing flexibility. Moreover, it is widely supported by Zebra’s software and driver ecosystem, simplifying setup and maintenance.

Limitations

The GK420t has a moderate print speed which may not satisfy high-volume production needs. It supports only monochrome printing, limiting it to black-and-white labels. The maximum print width is constrained, which might not accommodate larger label requirements. The printer lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth found in newer models. Its design dates back over a decade, hence it does not support some modern printing protocols or mobile connectivity innovations. Also, the absence of color printing restricts applications to basic labeling tasks.
