Limitations

The ZD420 may have limited maximum print speed compared to some industrial-grade printers, potentially affecting high-volume production. Its print width maximum of 4.09 inches may not suit applications requiring larger format labels. Media roll diameter support is limited to 5 inches, restricting use with larger media rolls. While wireless options are available, base models rely on wired connectivity, which may limit mobility. Thermal transfer ribbons compatibility requires careful selection, increasing operational complexity. The device lacks some advanced ruggedization features for harsh industrial settings.
