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 The design and features have not been updated significantly since its release, making it outdated compared to modern printers.
