Transitioning from Zebra TLP2824 Plus and ZD410 to the New ZD411 & ZD611 Barcode Label Printers

Zebra Technologies, the leading provider of desktop printers for the retail and healthcare industries, has recently announced the end of life for two of its most reliable and widely-used 2-inch desktop printers, the Zebra TLP2824 Plus and ZD410. These models, cherished for their reliability, have served a myriad of use cases across various industries, particularly in retail and healthcare, for several years. However, change is inevitable in the world of technology, and it's now time for these trusted printers to give way to their successors: the ZD411 and ZD611 series.

Zebra's announcement brings a wave of excitement, particularly for the new 2-inch desktop barcode label printers, ZD411 and ZD611. These new models will be available in direct thermal, thermal transfer, and healthcare versions, broadening their application scope significantly. The ZD411, classified as a mid-range model, offers enhanced features, improved capabilities, and robust security measures. Some of its key features include a more intuitive user interface, a powerful new architecture, and a field-upgradeable wireless kit, making daily operation smoother and more flexible.

As for the premium ZD611, it takes a leap forward with a standard full-color LCD touch display with an intuitive menu. This thermal transfer model also comes with optional RFID and linerless options for the direct thermal model, a feature that was not available with the TLP2824 Plus and ZD410. Moreover, the new media guide, media handling designs, and the movable media sensor make the ZD611 series an even more user-friendly and flexible choice.

With the discontinuation of the TLP2824 Plus and ZD410, supplies for these models are now limited and once sold out, no more units will be available. However, Zebra Technologies has assured that they will continue to provide service and support for these printers until November 15, 2025, easing the transition period for their customers.
