Affordability meets high quality
Built with Zebra durability and reliability, the GC420 printer offers the same mechanical design as the legacy LP 2844™ and TLP 2844™ models. This familiarity allows customers to easily migrate to the new printer, but the enhanced feature set means the industry and application support is greater.
Compact design with powerful features
The GC420 printer’s compact, space-saving design contains a powerful 32-bit processor for fast label throughput with a large memory for more graphics storage, longer label formats, and faster processing on media up to 104mm wide.
Media handling is extended further with an optional peel dispenser, plus the printer’s native EPL™ and ZPL® programming languages provide easy integration with other Zebra printers. With its three standard interfaces and optional 10/100 Ethernet, the GC420 printer offers flexibility in connecting with your local or networked system.
