Limitations
The GK420d's 203 dpi resolution may not suffice for extremely high-detail or small label printing needs. It is limited to direct thermal printing, making it unsuitable for long-term label durability under harsh conditions. The printer lacks built-in wireless connectivity, requiring additional accessories for network integration. Its maximum media width restricts label size, limiting some application scenarios. Compared to newer models, it has less processing power and memory capacity, potentially affecting complex print jobs. Being an older model, firmware updates and technical support may be limited over time.
