Zebra GK420d

Affordability Meets High-Quality

Always a Perfect Fit

Zebra’s G-Series compact desktop printers for print widths up to 4 inches deliver best-in-class speed and performance. From the basic GK™model to the feature-rich GX™model, the G-Series printers are reliable, durable, and flexible to fit almost any low- to mid-volume printing application and budget.

Fitting Choices

Built with Zebra durability and reliability, the G-Series GK model provides the best value of all basic desktop thermal printers, while the premier GX model supports a variety of industries and applications with the widest range of features.

Choose the space-saving direct thermal version of either model for the smallest footprint of any 4-inch desktop printer, or the direct thermal/thermal transfer version to save users time with the easiest ribbon-loading system available.

With both EPL™and ZPL® programming languages native on all models, G-Series printers fit in perfectly with other Zebra printers. And a variety of connectivity options makes them easy to integrate into existing local or networked systems. Zebra’s G-Series printers are a smart investment, and always a perfect fit.
