Label compatibility

The Zebra ZP450 prints with direct thermal technology. The printhead heats the label, so there is no ribbon, ink, or toner. That takes a cartridge off the desk and out of the running cost.

Paper specifications

Use the right paper with this ZP450. It does not have to be Zebra-branded. When you pick labels, match these points:

  • Label size: 4×6 inches.
  • Adhesive: Permanent, on the 4×6 shipping labels we sell.
  • Printing technology: Direct thermal. Do not use thermal transfer paper. It will not print on this ZP450.
  • On this SKU: one roll of 250 labels.

Label formats

The ZP450 takes two styles of labels:

  • Labels on a roll: These load in the printer.
  • Flat fanfold paper: These sit behind the printer and feed through the fanfold slot.

Supported label sizes

This ZP450 is listed for 4×6 shipping labels. This UPS printer comes with one 250-label roll to get you started.

Pick 4×6 direct thermal labels, on a roll or fanfold, and the printer stays on the shipping job it was bought for.

Labels without cartridges

No ink to replace
