General information and explanation about the Godex ZX420i

The Godez ZX420i is a very powerful and reliable thermal label printer with a very favorable price level.

The greater roll capacity compared to the desktop label printer ensures that the change of label rolls and transfer ribbons is kept to a minimum, resulting in optimal continuity. The Godex ZX420i is part of the ZX4 * series which consists of 4 models and is the mid-range series of the industrial Godex ZX1000i series. For example, a budget version of the ZX420i is available. This budget variant, the Godex ZX420 ( without “i” < / em>), has no display and only has a single USB 2.0B connection. In addition, both variants are available as a 300 DPI model for barcode labels, the Godex ZX430 and the Godex ZX430i .

The Godex ZX420i is often used for many different and demanding applications. Examples are internal warehouse labels, transport labels, shipping labels, product labels and retail applications. The “ i ” in the type number stands for “ interface ” by which Godex refers to the printer’s display. This display provides extra convenience when operating and setting the label printer.

Godex also has the ZX420i available without a display, which is the Godex ZX420 (so without “i”), in addition to that many other extras have been removed.

Quality, trust and warranty

Godex proves with a standard warranty of 5 years on the mid-range and industrial printers that the label printers are of very high quality. The printhead warranty is limited to 6 months.

The 5-year warranty applies to the entire printer and provides extra security, but above all a clear signal of confidence.
