Best Thermal Printer — 2020 People’s Choice
If you are still looking for a thermal printer for your business, STOP! Your search ends here.
The Original GPrinter ZH308i eliminates all other printer competitions in terms of its price, specifications, ease of usage, features, and set-up.
With its accompanied English Driver software set-up and FREE label designer software from Pro-Supplies, this printer is all you require to get your business label and receipt printing needs satisfied.
Price and Features
At half the pricing of conventional thermal printers, this printer is not just a label Printer OR a Receipt Printer. This printer has a dual function that allows it to print both labels and receipts likewise. Simply insert the label holder and your printer is ready to be converted to a label printer for individually customized label printing.
The printer’s auto-cut function further sets itself apart from the normal thermal printers that require a manual tear out of individual labels. By easily setting the label’s dimensions on Pro-Supplies’s Label designer software, you can easily make your printer automatically cut individual labels to your label dimensions. This will save your employees even more time to do the more important tasks for your business.
Specifications
What I really liked about this printer is its increased width sizing of 80mm. This is unlike the conventional 58mm max-width of thermal printers. This also makes it a preferred choice over the Brother QL-800 due to its increased space accommodation for bigger sized labels and receipt rolls. If you are currently placing 2 big printers, one for small printing and the other for a large label printing, now might be the time to change.
1 bad point about this thermal printer is its resolution. At only 203dpi, it's a little lower than the 300dpi point standard set by the other brands. However, upon testing, the printing resolution turns out just fine.
Setting Up
Setting up was really easy. With the supplied software from Pro-Supplies, I was able to easily connect my printers to my computer USB Port and get my labels printed within 15 minutes of opening the box. The setup guide from Pro-Supplies was easy to comprehend and follow.
Summary
If you haven’t got a thermal printer for your business yet, most likely, you will be able to benefit from one. Thermal Printers are not only more cost-efficient, but they are also cheaper than regular printers, easy to maintain and easy to set up. The ZH308i is a beautifully designed printer that is built for small to medium businesses. It’s a top choice for many businesses due to its relative ease of usage and price worthiness of its value.
