GODEX ZX430i convincing as new mid-range device in the thermal transfer label printer segment at eXtra4

Birkenfeld, 20.05.2019. What the Compact class is in on-road traffic is the Midrange class in label printing: it offers the performance of a big one with a small footprint. The Godex ZX430i tops this claim with an extremely attractive price and is therefore a new addition to the eXtra4 Labelling Systems range.

Best of desktop and industrial class
As a space-saving model, the Godex ZX430i thermal transfer printer comes in a robust metal housing measuring approx. 40 x 27 x 26 cm (LxHxW).

At a resolution of 300 dpi, it delivers high print speeds of up to 4 ips - 102 mm/s. The ZX430i's numerous connectivity options and its versatility in codes, fonts and languages clearly position it among the big players.

Communication with the device works intuitively on the LCD colour display with ergonomic control elements. An extensive range of accessories as well as Bluetooth and WiFi options convincingly round off the overall picture.
