Desktop Label Printers To Fit Your Budget & Your Printing Needs

What do you do when you need a low-cost label printer, often at a remote location, able to print labels when you need them and maintain high quality?

Finding a reliable desktop label printer that has both the speed to get items printed fast and the cost that fits your budget isn’t always easy. Thankfully, Zebra Technologies has several reliable printers that can do both.

Zebra’s G Series printers are perfect for government, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and transportation/logistics label printing, and come in three different models.

Our Go-Label.com site features many different types of printers, but today we’ll focus on the Zebra G Series printers that use 1-inch core diameter labels These are desktop printers that have a range of features that could help your company depending on your industry. The printers can handle low- to medium-volume printing environments and use direct thermal and thermal transfer printing applications.

Zebra G Series GC

Zebra’s GC Series of value line printers is composed of the GC420D and GC420T models. These printers can handle professional printing jobs for those without the budget to purchase higher-end Zebra printers. Both models are available with an optional dispenser. The GC420D is a direct thermal printer and the GC420T prints thermal transfer labels using a ribbon.

The GC Series printers are easy to use and work well for basic labeling applications. While the price point is lower than other Zebra printers, they are still reliably-built for lasting performance and durability. The exterior is made with dual-wall framed construction, and you won’t have much downtime because of the all-metal printhead and replacement parts.

Each printer features a compact, space-saving design and a powerful 32-bit processor for fast label throughput. Other features include 8MB of flash memory for increased storage of fonts and graphics. The GC420 Series supports media widths up to 4.25 inches for standard desktop applications and will seamlessly integrate with other Zebra printers.

Some applications for the GC420 models include asset management, documents management, evidence tracking, laboratory specimen and blood bank labeling, price labeling and receipt printing, light industrial work-in-process, product and shipping labeling, boarding tickets, bag tags, and parking passes.
