Key Advantages
The GK420T offers fast print speed delivering up to 5 inches per second, ideal for business-critical applications. It provides sharp 203 dpi resolution for clear, professional labels and barcodes. Flexible media handling supports a wide range of label sizes and types including continuous, die-cut, and tags. The printer supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing, enhancing material versatility and print durability. Its compact and lightweight design saves valuable desk space in office or retail environments. Additionally, Zebra's reliable build quality ensures consistent printing performance and minimal downtime.
Limitations
The GK420T has a limited maximum print width of 4.16 inches, which may not accommodate larger labeling needs. Its maximum print speed, while sufficient for many tasks, is slower compared to some industrial printers. The 203 dpi resolution might be inadequate for extremely fine print details or high-density barcode requirements. Media handling capacity is limited to smaller rolls compared to larger industrial printers, requiring more frequent media changes. Some users may find the absence of wireless connectivity limiting, as the standard model relies on USB or optional serial/parallel interfaces. Additionally, it may lack advanced networking or software features found in more modern or high-end models.
