Zebra Technologies 10012163 Z-Perform 2000D Paper Label, Direct Thermal, Not Perforated, 4" Width x 2" Length, 1" Core, 5" Outer Diameter

Hi, this is Travis from POSGuys.com. Today we're taking a look at Zebra's latest desktop printer, the ZD420. This is a dual thermal transfer/direct thermal printer. It is in their desktop line, and it basically replaces the GX420, it probably will replace the GK and maybe even the GC420. This is the healthcare version, so it's in a white plastic, it's also available in a dark grey in the standard plastic. They also refer to this as the ZD420-C, because this is their first printer that they've had that uses a cartridge for a ribbon. So instead of having to spool ribbon around a roller and then having a spare roller to load excess ribbon on, you just get a simple cartridge, drop it in, and you're ready to go. Of course, when you're using direct thermal printing with direct thermal labels, you wouldn't use any cartridge at all, you'd just pull it out, set in your drivers that you're using
