Zebra ZD421-HC
ZEBRA ZD421-HC — 4-INCH ADVANCED HEALTHCARE DESKTOP PRINTER
The Zebra ZD421-HC is a 4-inch advanced desktop printer built exclusively for healthcare environments. Available in direct thermal, thermal transfer, and ribbon cartridge models, the ZD421-HC delivers the flexibility to meet a wide variety of healthcare-specific use cases — from patient wristbands and specimen labels to prescription and asset labeling. Disinfectant-ready plastics, UV-resistant housing, and a sealed-button interface make it easy to clean and sanitize, helping prevent the spread of infections in hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and dental offices.
Powered by Zebra’s Print DNA™ software suite and an IEC 60601-1 compliant medical-grade power supply, the ZD421-HC is built for years of reliable performance. Field-upgradeable wireless kits, a movable media sensor for broad media compatibility, and backward compatibility with existing ZPL and EPL label formats make it easy to deploy into any existing printer fleet.
