Which model for which job
Your label decides the desktop printer: its size, how many you print a day and how long it must last. Each job below names the models we suggest for it.
A 4 × 6 inch label (101.6 mm wide) fits the 104 mm print width of the ZD230 and ZD421 at 203 dpi; their direct thermal versions need no ribbon.
Consider: Zebra ZD230, Zebra ZD421
We supply the 300 dpi ZD621 to EMS customers: it prints 12 dots per mm, takes labels from 6.4 mm long (12.7 mm with the peeler or cutter) and media from 15 mm wide, and prints Data Matrix codes.
Consider: Zebra ZD621
Thermal transfer with a ribbon prints labels that last; 300 dpi helps with small text.
Consider: Zebra ZD421, Honeywell PC42E-T, Godex G500, Godex G530
2-inch printers (up to 56 mm print width) with a small footprint.
Consider: Zebra ZD411, Zebra ZD611
Faster desktop models with more connection options.
Consider: Zebra ZD621, Godex RT700i+ / RT730i+

How to choose
Not sure desktop is right? Our barcode printer buying guide compares desktop, industrial and mobile printers and lists the checks to make before you order.
Direct thermal prints on heat-sensitive labels without a ribbon; it suits shipping and short-life labels. Thermal transfer uses a ribbon and prints longer-lasting labels for products, assets and harsher handling. The table shows which method each model offers.
Most shipping and product labels need a 4-inch printer (about 104-108 mm print width). For small labels such as shelf or small product labels, the Zebra ZD411 and ZD611 are 2-inch models (up to 56 mm) with a smaller footprint.
203 dpi suits shipping and most product labels. 300 dpi prints small text, small 2D codes and small labels more cleanly; most models in the table offer a 300 dpi version.
Desktop printers suit counters, offices and dispatch desks. If you print all day on a production or dispatch line with large rolls, compare our industrial printers.
USB is common to all; Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth depend on the model and version, as each product page shows. Tell us your billing, ERP or labelling software and we will set the printer up with it.
