Key Advantages

The HC100 provides excellent print quality at 300 dpi, ensuring clear and legible labels. It is compact and lightweight, saving valuable desk space. The use of direct thermal technology eliminates the need for consumables like ink or ribbons, reducing operational costs. Easy to set up and operate, the printer is ideal for fast, on-demand label printing. Its compatibility with various label sizes and materials enhances versatility. The device's reliability and low maintenance requirements make it a cost-effective solution for label printing needs.

Limitations

The Zebra HC100 uses direct thermal printing, which limits label longevity and resistance to heat or sunlight compared to thermal transfer printers. It does not support ribbon usage, restricting media options. The printer connectivity is limited to USB, lacking wireless or Ethernet options. It has a relatively slow print speed compared to other industrial label printers. The HC100 is designed mainly for healthcare labels and might not be as suitable for heavy-duty industrial printing tasks. Additionally, it lacks extensive software features found in more advanced label printers.
