Im sure is of great quality bevause is a good famous brand but it didn’t worked for me. I couldn’t get it to work. Not easy to install and kind of big.Imprime excelenteZebra is always goodFast responesSo far so good. Just received the printer today.I'm Using Windows 10 and ShipStation.Will work with bother UPS and USPS although the top boarders are just slightly cut off, but only by a few mm, it will not affect shipping. ShipStation recommends you download their driver for any zebra printer. Since my windows computer is so slow (was purchased strictly for ShipStation) their recommended driver wouldn't download. You pretty much plug and play with this printer, just set the printing preferences and you're good to go. I went ahead and installed the drivers on the disc that came with the printer since my computer recognized this printer as a zp450 after plugging it in and started printing labels. Installation was straight forward, although I doubt it was needed at all since this worked at first without installing the drivers!I tried connecting to my Mac and followed ShipStations installation instructions but had no luck. You're best off getting a Dymo Printer just for Macs. But since I started a new clothing/accessories brand and will need to print labels to ship via UPS and USPS as well as UPC labels for my products, I had to purchase a PC designated for the thermal printers.Pros: Feels sturdy, roll is encased in printer, prints very quickly.Cons: I couldn't get it to work properly. I have a mac, and the driver software included is windows based. Zebra does not have ANY download options for Mac drivers. Which is OK because macs have printer drivers preinstalled - including ones for this printer! Unfortunately these drivers only allow for the most basic of options (such as setting the paper size). If you want to change the print speed or type you have to use CUPS.Which is okay too - unless you have literally ANY issues. Such as the printer only printing on the top 1" of labels no matter what the paper size or line weight is set for. This requires a factory reset / recalibration ...which you do not have access to unless you buy a third party software. Either a lump sum of 1/3 the printer cost, or a tidy sum monthly. YUP if you have ANY issues and are using an apple device you will have to pay to resolve them with a software provided by a different company. You do not have access to those settings automatically. Windows users however do, with the free downloads provided by Zebra.So basically - if you plug this in, and it works, you are golden. For me it did not. It only printed on 1" of the labels, no matter what changes I made. I spent two hours troubleshooting, reinstalling, and wasting 50+ labels before giving up because the only solutions I didn't try required paying for additional software.Ended up buying another Munbyn printer (returned the first one due to problems) it isn't as sturdy and maybe it won't last, but setup took 2 minutes instead of 2 hours...and it actually works!I have bought gk420d from you guysBut until now, I used it well, but one day suddenlyIt will be printed on a blank paper. Please help mePrior to purchasing this I had to print my labels on a laser printer, cut them to size, and affix with tape. So this Zebra printer really saves a lot of time and certainly is more professional. For some reason I had problems getting the label to print correctly, but I phoned support and got immediate help. The tech walked me through a couple of changes in my set-up and everything has been fine since.Before buying it I read some reviewers' comments on poor print quality. Although not laser quality, I've had no issues with the print quality being substandard. There are some adjustments, or choices, to make regarding print quality when setting up the printer for the first time, so perhaps it has to do with the choices there.I wish I'd bought this a long time ago, but I'm glad I have it now.Hi, I'm a software guy... and I had some trouble to set it up. Finally get it working on my PC.However, I'm having trouble installing in another PC. So...Happy with this machine, only thing is that the labels are a little expensive. wish i knew that before.Although we have some communication problem at first, but finally I got a satisfied result.I bought this after realizing the label maker I purchased before this one wasn’t compatible with my shipping center’s website. It was more expensive, but does its job well and makes my life a whole lot easier. Labels print clean & fast. Wish I bought this a long time ago!Very great printer for the price and easy to assembly....
