Key Advantages

The LP 2844 offers high-speed printing at 4 ips for fast label production. Its direct thermal technology simplifies maintenance by removing the need for inks or ribbons. Multiple connectivity options provide flexible integration with various computer systems. The printer is compact, which saves valuable desk space in office settings. It supports standard desktop labels, making media replacement easy and cost-effective. The device is known for its reliability and consistent print quality over time.

Limitations

The Zebra LP 2844 is limited to direct thermal printing only, which may result in labels that fade over time and are not suitable for long-term use. It does not support color printing as it is monochrome only. The print speed, while decent, may be insufficient for very high-volume industrial print jobs. It has a limited maximum resolution of 203 dpi, which may affect print detail for some applications. Media capacity is relatively small, requiring frequent label roll changes for larger jobs. The design and features have not been updated significantly since its release, making it outdated compared to modern printers.
