Zebra’s G-Series compact desktop printers deliver best-in-class
speed and performance for print widths up to 104mm (4"). From
the basic GK™ model to the feature-rich GX™ model, the G-Series
printers offer a reliable, durable and flexible desktop solution for any
printing application and budget.
Built with Zebra durability and reliability, the G-Series GK model
provides the best value of all basic desktop thermal printers,
while the premier GX model supports a variety of industries and
applications with the widest range of features. Choose the space-
saving direct-thermal version of either model for the smallest
footprint of any 104mm (4") desktop printer, or the direct-thermal/
thermal-transfer version to save users time with the easiest ribbon-
loading system available.
With both EPL™ and ZPL® native on all models and a variety of
connectivity options for personal, local and networked systems,
the G-Series printers integrate easily and seamlessly with other
Zebra printing solutions.
