Frequently Asked Question
What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printing?
Direct thermal uses heat-sensitive labels that darken without a ribbon, ideal for short-term uses like shipping labels. Thermal transfer melts ink from a ribbon onto labels for durable, long-lasting prints suitable for harsh environments or extended storage.
What types of printers does Zebra offer?
Zebra offers mobile, desktop, industrial, tabletop, card, kiosk, and RFID printers – supporting direct thermal, thermal transfer, and RFID encoding.
What software comes with Zebra printers?
Every Zebra printer includes ZebraDesigner Essentials (free) and supports Bartender, NiceLabel, Loftware, and all major design programs.
What is the warranty on Zebra printers?
Most Zebra printers come with a 2-year warranty (some models 5 years), with optional Zebra OneCare service contracts for on-site support.
Is a Zebra printer easy to set up for first-time users?
Yes, tool-free media loading, color touch displays on many models, and Printer Profile Manager Enterprise for remote setup and management.
