Key Advantages

The ZD220's direct thermal printing technology makes it cost-effective and low-maintenance as no ribbons or toners are required. Its compact design allows it to fit conveniently on crowded desktops or workstations. Fast print speeds enhance operational workflow efficiency for offices and light industrial uses. The printer is straightforward to set up and operate, making it ideal for users with minimal technical expertise. Compatibility with Zebra's Link-OS simplifies device management and remote access. Additionally, it supports multiple media types and sizes, enhancing versatility in label printing tasks.

Limitations

Being a direct thermal printer, the Zebra ZD220 labels are sensitive to heat and light, which may cause fading over time, limiting use for long-term durability needs. The print resolution of 203 dpi may not be sufficient for very high-detail printing requirements. It lacks support for wireless connectivity natively, potentially restricting placement options compared to modern printers with Wi-Fi. The printer is designed for medium volume printing, so it may not be suitable for very high-demand industrial environments. There is limited support for color printing as this model prints only in monochrome. The printer’s maximum media roll size is relatively small, which could require frequent media replacements.
