Key Advantages

The TLP 2844-Z offers reliable and consistent print quality with its 203 dpi resolution. Its compact size makes it space-efficient for office settings. The printer supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing, providing flexibility for different materials and durability requirements. Fast printing speeds up to 4 inches per second improve productivity. Multiple connectivity ports allow wide compatibility with existing systems. Zebra’s reputation and build quality ensure durability and dependable operation over time.

Limitations

The print resolution, while adequate for many tasks, may not suffice for ultra-fine graphics or extremely small text. Print width limitations restrict the size of labels to less than 4.1 inches, potentially limiting some specialized applications. The device lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, requiring wired connections only. Its relatively older generation design may not support some modern label design software features fully. Replacement parts or accessories may be harder to find due to its age. Additionally, printing speed is moderate compared to newer models designed specifically for high-volume production.
