Zebra ZE500-4 Printhead

It's got the perfect 4-inch width, working with standard labels up to 104mm wide-shipping labels, product tags, compliance stickers, you name it, it handles them. Print quality? Crisp and clear, every time. Whether you go with 203 dpi or 300 dpi, barcodes scan easy, text stays sharp, and graphics look pro, no matter what you're printing.

It's built to go the distance, too-with a tough ceramic core and a special protective layer, it stands up to millions of inches of label movement without wearing out, so you replace it less often and deal with less downtime.

On top of that, it's fast without skimping on quality-spits out labels at up to 12 ips (305 mm/s) and still keeps every edge sharp, which is perfect for busy places like factories or warehouses where you need labels in a hurry. And it plays nice with all sorts of materials, too-thermal transfer ribbons, direct thermal paper, synthetic labels, RFID inlays, specialty stock, you name it, it handles them all without a hitch. And installing or swapping it out? A breeze. The "lift and lock" design makes it easy to swap, and it calibrates automatically, so your team spends less time fiddling around and more time printing.

Saves you money over time: It lasts longer, needs less maintenance, and uses energy efficiently-all of which keeps costs down, even helping the whole printer last longer.

Tough enough for rough spots: Dust, extreme temps, static-none of it phases it. Whether it's in a warehouse, factory, or distribution center, it keeps churning out reliable labels, day in and day out.

The Zebra ZE500-4 printhead is a heavy-duty thermal transfer workhorse, made specifically for Zebra's ZT500 series industrial printers. It's built for tough spots-manufacturing floors, warehouses, logistics hubs-where precision and durability can't be compromised. With a 4-inch (104mm) print width and native 600 dpi resolution, it whips up razor-sharp barcodes, text, and graphics on labels, tags, and wristbands alike.

It plays nice with ZT510, ZT520, and ZT620 printers, so integration is seamless-no tricky setup. And when every label counts, it keeps up with mission-critical workflows without breaking a sweat.

And it doesn't flinch in tough spots-dust, high humidity, extreme temps, whatever industrial settings throw at it. Whether it's in a factory, warehouse, or even outdoor staging areas, it keeps churning out reliable prints.
