Replace Your Zebra Barcode Printer that is at End of Life
The barcode label printer your company uses is old and may seem to be in great working condition, but it is slow, replacement parts are hard to obtain, security is questionable at best, the features are not user-friendly, and there is no ability to print complex graphics. Technological advancements offer opportunities to create new and improved products that can better streamline business processes and help maintain regulatory compliance.
Technology is an ever-evolving situation for business owners. As newer tech is released, older tech becomes obsolete, often taking products out of service as they can no longer support the newer software programs, speed, maintenance, and management. Zebra & Imprint can help your business get up-to-date with barcode printing technology.
Zebra helps businesses manage the expense of upgrading technology with their unique Trade-In Program. Imprint has the specialists to help you determine the good, better, and best options of barcode label printers for your business. Refreshing your industrial printer fleet doesn’t have to be a costly venture to keep your business up to date with the latest technological trends and mandate requirements.
The older a barcode printer is, the harder it becomes to update its logic boards and power supplies, and security becomes a major risk factor when the software can no longer be updated against the newest malware threats.

Zebra Barcode Printers at End of Life
Most barcode printers have a selling span of 3-5 years with support provided for 4-5 years after the end of the selling span. At EOL, your business has a decision to make; continue using the old printer, potentially risking operational efficiency, or upgrade your printer to minimize downtime.
The following Zebra industrial printers are at their EOL:

Considered cutting-edge at the time of release, technological advancements have made these industrial printers slower than the newer models, impacting operational effectiveness and productivity.
