Zebra printers

A Zebra printer is a type of label printer manufactured by the company Zebra Technologies.

Zebra Technologies is one of the world's most reliable producers of smart printing systems. Based in Lincolnshire, Illinois, the company maintains more than 50 offices around the world including England, the Netherlands, Singapore and China.

Zebra Technologies is renowned for its thermal barcode label printers, RFID label printers and printer supplies. In fact, the system is so popular that more than 90 percent of the 500 top U.S. companies that are ranked within the Fortune Magazine List use printers manufactured by Zebra Technologies. Their development department has even delivered a specialised formatting language named ZPL (Zebra Programming Language), which allows the operator to control the formatting of the label and process the printing themselves.

Zebra printers have multiple advantages, including the following:

• Because of their size they fit into the category of desktop printers, meaning their uses are flexible.
• The proportions of Zebra printers offer multiple application possibilities.
• Zebra printers can match today's highest demands, including high resolution, label size, quantity, interface.
• Smart technologies like RFID can all be customised according to the manufacturer's needs.
• Manufacturers can decide where and when they need a specific label, and the Zebra printer will deliver it accurately at the correct position.

These printers are designed for excellent print quality, managing of high-volume orders and suitable for 24 hours of continuous operation.
