Being a direct thermal printer, the QL 420 Plus is limited to printing on thermal-sensitive media, which may fade over time with exposure to heat or sunlight. The print resolution of 203 dpi is lower than some specialized label printers designed for highly detailed graphics. Without native support for more advanced wireless standards like 802.11ac or Bluetooth Low Energy, connectivity can be less optimal in dense wireless environments. The printer's relatively compact size restricts its maximum label roll capacity, requiring more frequent media changes during heavy use. It's not suitable for color printing or large-format labels. Firmware updates may require specialized tools or software downloads from Zebra's support site.
